EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "St Andrew the Apostle" takes us back to the 17th century with its intricate details and religious symbolism. The image portrays St Andrew, one of the apostles of Jesus Christ, as depicted by an English School artist from that era. The engraving showcases St Andrew holding a cross, symbolizing his martyrdom on a diagonal X-shaped cross. His halo shines brightly above his head, signifying his sainthood. In this illustration taken from "The History of the Life and Death of the Ever-Blessed Jesus Christ" we witness St Andrew's devotion to spreading Christianity. Surrounded by fish in the background, which represents both his occupation as a fisherman before becoming an apostle and also serves as a metaphor for bringing people into faith like catching fish in a net. This artwork beautifully captures the essence of early Christian beliefs during this period.
