Beach Blowing Breeze Junk Oars Oriental Scarf Windswept Bird Cage Colour Lithograph Flip Flops Historica Graphica Collection
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Story of Mary and Martha" an illustration from the Bible, created by Mattaus II Merian in the 17th century. The sepia engraving, skillfully executed by J. C. Bodenehr, depicts a scene from the Gospel according to St. Luke (Luke 10:38-42). In this enchanting artwork, we see a woman dressed in an oriental-inspired dress and scarf, standing on a windswept beach. Her flip flops sink into the sand as she gazes out at the vast ocean before her. A gentle breeze blows through her hair and billows her dress, creating a sense of movement and freedom. Surrounding her are elements that add depth to the composition - a bird cage with birds perched inside symbolizes captivity versus liberation; oars resting against junk boats hint at journeys taken or yet to come. The artist's use of color lithography adds vibrancy to this historical piece while maintaining its timeless appeal. This print is part of the Historica Graphica Collection, which preserves significant works of art for future generations. As you admire this exquisite illustration, let your imagination transport you back in time to witness Mary and Martha's story unfold - their devotion contrasting with worldly distractions. Let it serve as a reminder that amidst life's busyness, finding moments for reflection and spiritual connection is essential.
