EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Jesus in the house of Martha, Gospel of Luke" by Schnorr von Carolsfeld takes us back to a significant moment in biblical history. The image beautifully captures the essence of the scene described in Luke chapter X verses 41-42. In this illustration, we witness Jesus surrounded by two women, Martha and Mary. As Jesus speaks to Martha with compassion, his words echo through time: "Martha, Martha, thou art careful and troubled about many things: But one thing is needful: and Mary hath chosen that good part, which shall not be taken away from her". The artist's attention to detail brings out the emotions on each character's face - concern etched on Martha's brow as she busily attends to her tasks while Mary sits at Jesus' feet intently listening. This thought-provoking composition invites viewers to reflect upon their own priorities and choices. Through its tinted hues and delicate lines characteristic of nineteenth-century artistic style, this drawing transports us into antiquity. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of faith and devotion across centuries. As we contemplate this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, it encourages us to consider what truly matters in our lives amidst the chaos and distractions that surround us. Just like Mary who chose wisely by focusing on spiritual nourishment rather than worldly concerns; may we too find solace in seeking that which is essential for our souls.
