EDITORS COMMENTS
This woodcut print by Hans Schaufelein the Elder, titled "Parable of the Pharisees and the Tax-Collector" transports us back to 16th century Germany. The hand-coloured artwork depicts a powerful scene from the Bible, illustrating Jesus' parable about humility and repentance. In this vibrant image, we see two men in conversation - a self-righteous Pharisee and a tax collector. The Pharisee stands tall with an air of superiority, gesturing confidently as he recounts his righteous deeds. Meanwhile, the tax collector humbly bows his head, aware of his sins and unworthiness before God. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of colour on this woodcut. Each figure is meticulously rendered with expressive features that convey their emotions and personalities. The warm hues add depth to the scene while highlighting its religious significance. As we gaze upon this masterpiece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, we are reminded of timeless themes such as pride versus humility and judgment versus forgiveness. It serves as a visual reminder for viewers to reflect on their own actions and attitudes towards others. Hans Schaufelein's skillful craftsmanship brings this biblical narrative to life, capturing both its moral lesson and historical context within Northern Renaissance art. This print stands as a testament to the enduring power of religious imagery throughout centuries past – a testament that continues to resonate today.
