EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of the "Adoration of the Magi" altarpiece, a masterpiece created by William Morris and Sir Edward Burne-Jones in 1861-62. The oil on panel painting, beautifully depicted here, emanates an aura of birth and pre-Raphaelite artistry. The scene unfolds with angels hovering above as three wise men kneel before the Virgin Mary and infant Jesus Christ. Bathed in divine light, their expressions reflect awe and reverence for this sacred moment. The pointed arches framing the figures add a sense of grandeur to the composition, emphasizing its religious significance. This image not only showcases Morris and Burne-Jones' artistic prowess but also highlights their collaboration with Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Company. Their shared vision brought forth a harmonious blend of intricate details and vibrant colors that breathe life into this religious narrative. Photographer Martyn O'Kelly skillfully captures every nuance of this remarkable piece through his lens. His photography allows us to appreciate the delicate brushstrokes and meticulous attention to detail that make this altarpiece truly exceptional. As we gaze upon this photograph, we are transported back in time to witness a pivotal moment in Christian history. It serves as a reminder of faith's enduring power and invites contemplation on themes such as devotion, spirituality, and love for humanity – all encapsulated within one frame.
