EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a powerful moment from John Bunyan's renowned work, "The Pilgrim's Progress". Titled ""Difficulty is behind, Fear is before, " the image depicts Christian, the protagonist of this allegorical tale, courageously passing between two imposing lions. As he navigates this treacherous path, Watchful the porter stands watchfully nearby at Palace Beautiful. Created by an unknown artist in the 17th century, this woodcut print beautifully illustrates one of the many trials that Christian encounters on his arduous journey to the Celestial City. The lions symbolize fear and danger that lie ahead for any traveler seeking spiritual enlightenment. Bunyan's timeless novel explores themes of faith, morality, and perseverance as Christian faces numerous challenges while staying on the righteous path. This particular scene represents a pivotal test of faith for our protagonist – will he succumb to fear or press forward with unwavering determination? Through its intricate details and expert engraving techniques, this historic artwork transports viewers back to a significant era in literature and religious history. It serves as a reminder that even when faced with difficulties and uncertainties in life's journey, it is essential to confront them head-on rather than letting fear hold us back. This evocative print not only celebrates Bunyan's enduring masterpiece but also invites contemplation about our own personal struggles and how we can overcome them with strength and resilience.
