EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning Stumpwork panel, believed to be from a casket, created by an English School in the 17th century. Currently housed at The Bowes Museum in Barnard Castle, County Durham, UK, this embroidery piece is a true masterpiece. The intricate design features various elements that evoke deep emotions and tell a tragic tale. A couple is depicted walking together with sorrowful expressions on their faces. The presence of a dog symbolizes loyalty and companionship amidst their grief. A regal lion stands nearby, representing strength and courage during difficult times. However, it is the inclusion of certain objects that hint at the underlying tragedy within this artwork. A dagger suggests thoughts of suicide or self-harm as an expression of overwhelming despair. An embroidered rabbit signifies vulnerability and fragility while holding onto hope. The attention to detail in this Stumpwork panel is truly remarkable; every stitch meticulously crafted to convey profound emotions associated with loss and heartbreak. It serves as a poignant reminder of the universal experience of human suffering throughout history. As we gaze upon this extraordinary work of art captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back in time to witness the rawness and complexity of human emotion beautifully translated into textile form.
