EDITORS COMMENTS
The Anointing of Saul" is a captivating biblical illustration from the late 19th century, depicting a pivotal moment in the Old Testament history of the Israelites. This evocative print, available through Mary Evans Prints Online, transports us back in time to the very instant when God chose Saul to be the first king of Israel. The scene unfolds in a serene, idyllic setting, with the prophet Samuel standing before the unsuspecting Saul, a shepherd boy, who is tending to his flock. The divine presence of God is symbolized by a column of light that descends from above, illuminating the scene and focusing the viewer's attention on the sacred moment. Samuel holds a horn of oil, which he pours over Saul's head, signifying the divine anointing and the transfer of God's spirit to the chosen one. Saul's expression is one of awe and reverence, as he humbly submits to the will of God. The scene is further enriched by the presence of Saul's companions, who look on in wonder and amazement at the unfolding miracle. This beautiful and intricately detailed illustration captures the essence of the biblical narrative, transporting us back to a time when God's presence was palpable and His will was manifested through the actions of His chosen leaders. The late 19th century artistry on display in this print is a testament to the enduring power of the biblical story and the continued relevance of the Old Testament in the rich tapestry of Christian history. Whether used as a decorative piece in a home or office, or as a study aid for students of the Bible, "The Anointing of Saul" is a timeless work of art that continues to inspire and captivate viewers with its beauty and depth of meaning.
