EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Nicodemus coming to Jesus" artist Albert Robida beautifully captures a profound moment from the New Testament. The image depicts Nicodemus, a Pharisee and member of the Jewish ruling council, seeking out Jesus Christ under the cover of darkness. Robida's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, as he skillfully portrays the emotions etched on both Nicodemus and Jesus' faces. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, drawing viewers into this pivotal encounter. As we delve deeper into the biblical narrative, we discover that Nicodemus approaches Jesus with curiosity and a desire for spiritual enlightenment. This print serves as a visual representation of their clandestine meeting, highlighting themes of faith, redemption, and personal transformation. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the scene while symbolizing the contrast between worldly knowledge (represented by darkness) and divine wisdom (embodied by Christ's radiant presence). Through his artistry, Robida invites us to reflect upon our own journeys towards understanding God's teachings. This particular print is part of a private collection but has been widely recognized for its artistic merit. It was originally created as an illustration for "The Gospel according to Saint John" published in 1873. Today it continues to inspire viewers with its timeless depiction of one man's quest for spiritual truth amidst uncertainty.
