EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print of "The Parable of the Wheat and the Tares" by Domenico Fetti, we are transported to a world where biblical teachings come alive. The artist's masterful brushstrokes bring forth a scene filled with symbolism and moral lessons. At first glance, we see a vast field abundant with wheat, representing prosperity and abundance. However, amidst the golden stalks lie tares or weeds, symbolizing sin and inhumanity. This parable from the New Testament teaches us about justice, repentance, and God's ultimate judgment. The central figure is a householder who represents God himself. He stands tall among his workers as they gather both wheat and tares together. The image reminds us that even in our own lives, good and evil coexist side by side. As we delve deeper into the painting, our attention is drawn to various characters embodying different aspects of humanity. Some are weak or sickly while others appear repentant or sinful. Their presence highlights themes of charity, greed, justness, and reward. Fetti skillfully captures the essence of this parable through his use of light and shadow on oil-painted wood. Each detail tells a story within itself - from the cornucopia overflowing with wealth to the enemy lurking behind it all. "The Parable of the Wheat and Tares" serves as an eternal reminder that true justice lies not only in punishing wrongdoers but also in giving them a chance for redemption. It
