Created by an unknown European School artist in the 19th century, this print is part of a private collection. Intriguingly illustrating a momentous event from The Pictorial History of the Bible by John McGowan (1835), this artwork showcases the healing power of faith and divine intervention. The image portrays Saint Matthew, one of Jesus' apostles and evangelists, witnessing a miraculous cure performed by Christ himself. The composition exudes both drama and compassion as it captures the sick man lying on his bed while Jesus stands beside him with outstretched arms. With great skill and precision, the engraver has masterfully conveyed emotions through intricate details such as facial expressions and body language. This engraving serves as a testament to the significance of spiritual healing throughout history. It invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as illness, medicine, health, and hope.
