Title: Christ’s Charge to Peter Engraving – John XXI Feed My Sheep c.1735
Description:
This deeply moving antique engraving titled “Christ’s Charge to Peter” illustrates the moment from John Chapter XXI where the resurrected Christ commissions Peter to “feed my sheep,” establishing him as the shepherd of his followers. Created circa 1735 for a large illustrated family Bible, this copperplate engraving captures Christ addressing Peter in the presence of the other disciples, symbolising his role as leader of the early Church.
At the centre, Christ stands with a serene and authoritative presence, gesturing towards Peter who kneels before him in humility and devotion. The disciples stand clustered around them, their faces reflecting attentiveness, reverence, and contemplation as they witness this divine commission. In the background, a detailed pastoral landscape unfolds, with rolling hills, farmland, and a distant village with towers and smoke rising from chimneys, situating the scene within an idealised biblical setting while adding compositional depth and balance.
Executed with precision using the copper engraving technique, this print features finely etched lines, cross-hatching, and intricate detailing typical of English Bible illustrations of the early 18th century. Though unsigned, it is stylistically aligned with works after designs by Gerard Hoet or Bernard Picart, widely used in Protestant family Bibles to serve as visual theological instruction and devotional inspiration.
Collectors value such engravings for their religious, historical, and artistic significance, offering insights into 18th-century Protestant devotion and biblical interpretation within the household.
Condition summary:
Good condition with overall light age toning and some minor foxing mainly in the margins. The plate impression remains strong with engraved details clear and well preserved. There is a faint water stain at the upper margin, not affecting the engraved image.
Framing tips:
Frame this engraving with a dark wood or black moulding with gold inner edging for a classic ecclesiastical presentation. Use a warm ivory or cream mount board to harmonise with the aged paper tones and minimise attention to the top margin stain. UV-protective non-reflective glass is recommended to preserve its fine line work and prevent further ageing. This engraving will display beautifully in a study, library, or gallery wall of biblical prints, enriching any collection with its historical depth and profound spiritual narrative.
