EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the year 1661, where Barent Fabritius masterfully captures a pivotal moment in biblical history - "The Parable of the Pharisee and the Publican (Tax Collector)". This thought-provoking artwork invites us to delve into the depths of human nature and reflect upon themes of humility, self-righteousness, and redemption. Fabritius skillfully portrays two contrasting figures at the center of his composition. On one side stands a proud Pharisee, adorned in rich robes and exuding an air of superiority. His posture is erect, his gaze fixed upwards as if seeking divine approval for his righteous deeds. In stark contrast stands the humble tax collector or publican; head bowed low with eyes cast downwards in shame. Clutching his chest in repentance, he pleads for mercy from above. Through meticulous attention to detail and expert use of light and shadow, Fabritius brings these characters to life on canvas. The viewer is left pondering their own place within this parable – do we identify more with the self-assured Pharisee or with the contrite tax collector? Are we willing to acknowledge our flaws and seek forgiveness? This remarkable artwork serves as a reminder that true righteousness lies not in outward displays but rather in genuine humility before God. It beckons us to examine our hearts and strive for spiritual growth while embracing compassion towards others. As we admire this fine art piece from Liszt Collection's
