EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a delicate study of an angel's head, created by the renowned artist Edward John Poynter in 1882. The image showcases Poynter's exceptional talent for capturing ethereal beauty with his skilled use of chalk on paper. The angel's face is rendered with remarkable precision, every line and shadow meticulously crafted to convey a sense of serenity and grace. Its eyes seem to gaze into the distance, as if lost in heavenly contemplation. With its slightly parted lips, one can almost imagine hearing the celestial melodies that this divine being might be singing. Poynter's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pencil; each delicate feature is expertly rendered, from the intricate curls of hair framing the angelic face to the subtle shading that adds depth and dimension. This study was created as part of Poynter's preparation for a mosaic at St Paul’s Cathedral, showcasing his dedication to perfection even in preliminary sketches. Displayed against a plain background, this print allows viewers to focus solely on the exquisite craftsmanship and artistic vision behind this mesmerizing piece. It serves as a testament to Poynter's mastery as an artist and offers us a glimpse into his creative process. With its timeless beauty and profound tranquility, "Angel’s Head - Study for the Mosaic in St Paul’s" continues to captivate audiences today just as it did over a century ago when it was first brought into existence by Poynter
