EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing "Detail of a Stained Glass Window" created by the renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1896. The artwork, now housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK, depicts two poignant episodes from the Bible. The first scene portrays King David's anguished weeping and fervent prayers for his sick child's life. In the second panel, we witness David accepting his child's tragic demise with unwavering fortitude. Commissioned for St Cuthberts Church in Melbourne Street, Newcastle upon Tyne (which regrettably no longer stands), these windows served as a heartfelt tribute to Arthur Gibson and his children Rex and Phoebe. Arthur passed away at just 39 years old in 1894, while both Rex and Phoebe tragically lost their lives earlier on. The stained glass window is an exquisite example of British Arts and Crafts movement fused with Pre-Raphaelite aesthetics. It exudes elegance through its intricate depiction of vines, foliage, grapes - symbolizing virtue - all meticulously crafted within this masterpiece. As you gaze upon this remarkable image captured by Bridgeman Images from Fine Art Finder collection, immerse yourself in the rich history that lies behind it. Let it transport you to a time when art was not only visually stunning but also deeply meaningful; where each brushstroke or shard of colored glass told stories that resonated across generations.
