EDITORS COMMENTS
This coloured engraving, titled "Peter leaped down and trod the boisterous wave" transports us to a dramatic biblical scene. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment from Matthew XIV. In the image, we witness Peter's audacious act of faith as he fearlessly steps out onto turbulent waters. The crashing waves surround him, their frothy crests frozen in time. With arms outstretched for balance and determination etched on his face, Peter defies gravity and walks upon the water's surface. However, doubt soon engulfs him as sinking becomes imminent. In desperation, he cries out to his master for salvation - "O master save!". And true to His nature, Jesus extends His hand towards Peter with unwavering love and rescues him from certain peril. The vibrant hand-colouring adds depth and intensity to this powerful depiction of faith tested and ultimately redeemed. It serves as a visual reminder that even when doubts plague our hearts during life's storms, there is always hope if we reach out to our Savior. This remarkable artwork was originally featured in "Scripture History for the Improvement of Youth" published by Kelly around 1850. Its inclusion in private collections ensures its preservation for generations to come so that viewers can continue to be inspired by Peter's extraordinary leap of faith amidst adversity.
