Painted by Rembrandt. Engraved by Ja.. Ward Painter & Engraver to his R.H. the Prince of Wales.
London: Pub. April 10 1800 by Mess.rs Wards & Co. No. 6 Newman Street.
A large mezzotint. 585 x 660mm (23 x 26"). Thread margins, 2 tears through inscription area and top edge. Very light foxing.
Cornelius, following a vision of an angel, summons 'two of his household servants, and a devout soldier' in order to send them to Joppa to fetch the apostle Peter (Acts X: 1-8). The painting has also been seen as showing the parable of the Unmerciful Servant, in which a servant is forgiven for his debts by a king, but fails to show the same leniency to a fellow servant. The painting (London, Wallace Collection) is no longer believed to be by Rembandt, although its authorship is disputed. Frankau: 22, ii of ii.
