The Great Supper Engraving – Luke XIV Parable Scene 1735
This antique engraving illustrates the Parable of the Great Supper from the Gospel of Luke, Chapter 14, published in 1735. The scene captures the moment when the servant, dressed in a detailed robe with ornamental patterns, is sent out to invite the poor, crippled, blind, and lame after the original guests refused the invitation. He gestures outwards, calling the people gathered outside to enter the feast. In the background, groups of people are seen walking towards the banquet hall, some aided by sticks, symbolising their humble status. Further back, men tend oxen in a pastoral landscape, referencing those who excused themselves from attending.
Inside, the grand hall features high arched ceilings with intricate decorations and a long table set with elegant plates, cups, and covered dishes. Large ceremonial jugs stand near the servant, indicating the abundance prepared for the guests. The print’s composition uses strong architectural perspectives, leading the viewer’s eye from the opulent interior out to the gathering crowd.
This engraving was produced using the copper engraving technique, known for its precise and fine linear detail, ideal for illustrating biblical texts. Created in 1735, it originates from an illustrated Bible series depicting New Testament parables and teachings. The Parable of the Great Supper is a teaching about God’s kingdom, humility, and the inclusivity of divine invitation, making it an important theological and moral artwork.
Its historical context and artistic quality make it significant for collectors of biblical prints, students of Christian teachings, and those interested in 18th-century engraving artistry. The detailed drapery, architectural rendering, and expressive figures reflect the engraving mastery of the period, bringing scripture to life with vivid visual storytelling.
Condition summary: Good condition considering its age. Light even toning, with some minor foxing marks mainly in the margins. No visible tears or repairs. Strong, clear impression with rich lines and detailed shading. Paper remains firm and stable with good margins.
Framing tips: This dramatic biblical engraving will suit a classic dark wood or black frame to highlight its tonal depth, with an off-white or antique cream mount to complement the aged paper hue. For an elegant finish, consider adding a gold beaded inner frame. Use UV-protective glass to preserve the fine engraved details and prevent fading from light exposure over time.
