THE LAST VOYAGE ENGRAVED BY ROFFE FROM THE SCULPTURE BY MILLER,1879 Steel Engraving

Verlag: Art Journal

Beschreibung

The steel engraving titled "The Last Voyage" was engraved by Roffe from a sculpture by P.M. Miller in 1879. This evocative piece portrays a deeply symbolic scene, where a deceased figure, lying peacefully on an ornate boat, is guided by a winged angel toward the afterlife. The angel, depicted in flowing garments and with ethereal wings, gently holds the mast of the sail, which carries a cross-like emblem, further emphasizing themes of faith and eternal peace. The words inscribed beneath the scene, "A gentle wafting to immortal life", reflect the serene and hopeful transition from earthly existence to a spiritual realm. The intricately designed boat is adorned with classical motifs, while a lamp at the bow illuminates the journey, symbolizing divine guidance. The engraving captures the essence of Victorian-era spirituality and its fascination with death as a passage to a heavenly existence. This work is a testament to the meticulous skill of both the sculptor and the engraver, evoking tranquility and the comfort of religious belief in the face of mortality.
