St Peter, St John and St Philip Laying Their Hands on the Baptised at Samaria. From: The Acts of The Apostles, plate 10, 1575. A series of 34 plates depicting the New Testament book of Acts. The episode depicted is from 8:12-18, when the people of Samaria believed the apostle Philip and 'as he preached the gospel of the kingdom of God and the name of Jesus Christ, they were baptised, both men and women.' The converts included the renowned Simon the Sorcerer. This engraving depicts this final moment in the foreground; in the continuous narrative device employed by the artist, acts of conversion are taking place in the background at right. The dove of the Holy Spirit dominates the top right of the composition.
