Editor: So, here we have an anonymous woodcut, "Christ Sending the Apostles off in their Boat." It feels very direct and almost raw in its simplicity. What stands out to you when you look at this piece? Curator: The beauty of the rough lines, right? It feels so immediate. I imagine this print being slipped into someone's hand, a secret symbol of faith, a pocket-sized prayer almost. Do you get that feeling? Editor: I do, a little. Like a holy, handmade comic book. Curator: Precisely! And the net brimming with fish – that abundance is key. Maybe not just about sustenance, but the bounty of faith itself, wouldn't you say? It's a powerful little thing. Editor: Definitely gives you a lot to think about. Curator: Indeed. Art doesn't need to shout, sometimes the whispers linger longer.
