The Sower of Tares
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating colour lithograph that beautifully captures the essence of one of Jesus Christ's most profound parables. Created by the renowned artist John Everett Millais, this print showcases his exceptional talent for storytelling through art. In this illustration, we witness the biblical scene where Jesus tells the story of "The Sower of Tares". The image portrays a field with a sower scattering seeds among wheat plants. However, amidst the fertile soil and promising crops, there are also tares – weeds that threaten to choke and hinder growth. Millais skillfully conveys both the physical beauty and symbolic depth of this parable. The vibrant colours bring life to every detail, from the golden wheat stalks swaying in the wind to the menacing tares intertwining with them. This juxtaposition serves as a metaphor for good and evil coexisting within society. This particular lithograph was created as an illustration for Joseph Bibby's work on social progress in 1927. It not only reflects upon biblical history but also highlights its relevance to contemporary issues faced by humanity. "The Sower of Tares" print is an exquisite piece that invites viewers to delve into its rich symbolism and contemplate their own role in nurturing goodness amidst adversity. With its timeless message about discernment and moral responsibility, it continues to inspire reflection on personal growth and societal progress today.
