Title: St. Paul to Romans Engraving – Justification by Faith Alone c.1735
Description:
This powerful antique engraving titled “The Epistle of St. Paul to the Romans” illustrates the Apostle Paul writing his theological masterpiece on justification by faith. Created circa 1735 for a large illustrated family Bible, this copperplate engraving depicts Paul seated at a draped writing table, holding a quill and gazing upwards towards a radiant heavenly vision.
In the heavens above, surrounded by glowing clouds and rays of divine light, Christ is shown on the cross, with a crowned figure gesturing towards Him, symbolising divine approval and the central Pauline doctrine of salvation through faith alone. A dove, representing the Holy Spirit, flies towards the scene, underlining the divine inspiration behind Paul’s writing. The caption below reads: “Justification by Faith alone without the works of the Law,” encapsulating the heart of Paul’s letter to the Romans and a cornerstone of Protestant theology.
This engraving is executed with precision using the copper engraving technique, renowned for its fine linear detail and delicate tonal transitions. Such prints were typically engraved after designs by leading Bible illustrators like Gerard Hoet or Bernard Picart, although this particular plate is unsigned. These engravings served as visual sermons in family Bibles, reinforcing theological teachings with powerful imagery.
Collectors value these prints for their historical, theological, and artistic significance, offering insight into 18th-century Protestant devotion and the integration of emblematic art into domestic religious education.
Condition summary:
Good condition with light age toning and minor foxing, mainly in the margins. The plate impression is strong with fine engraved details clearly preserved. There is slight edge wear typical for its age but no major tears or losses.
Framing tips:
Frame this engraving with a black or dark walnut frame featuring a gold inner edge for a classic ecclesiastical presentation. Use a warm ivory or cream mount board to complement the aged paper tones. UV-protective non-reflective glass is recommended to preserve the engraving’s fine lines and prevent further ageing. This piece will display beautifully in a study, library, or gallery wall dedicated to biblical or theological prints, enriching any collection with its deep spiritual narrative and historical gravitas.
