EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Widows Mite (engraving)" by Albert Robida, a renowned artist from the 19th century. The artwork is part of a private collection and depicts an illustration for "The Gospel according to Saint Mark" published in 1875. "The Widows Mite" refers to a biblical story found in the New Testament that highlights the act of charity performed by a poor widow. In this engraving, Robida beautifully captures the essence of this narrative with his meticulous attention to detail. The image portrays Jesus Christ observing as the widow selflessly donates her last two small coins into the temple treasury. Despite her meager offering, it symbolizes her immense faith and willingness to give everything she has for those in need. Robida's artistic interpretation evokes deep emotions as we witness this powerful moment unfold before our eyes. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, he brings life to each character and creates an atmosphere filled with compassion and humility. This print serves as a reminder of the timeless message conveyed in this biblical tale - that true generosity lies not in how much we give but rather in our intentions and sincerity behind our actions. It encourages us all to reflect on our own capacity for kindness towards others, regardless of our circumstances or possessions. With its profound spiritual significance, "The Widows Mite (engraving)" continues to inspire viewers across generations, reminding us of the enduring power of love and compassion within humanity's collective journey
