EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the crozier of William Wykeham, an eminent figure from the 14th century. The image captures an angel playing the bagpipe with utmost grace and skill. Crafted in silver gilt and enamel, this exquisite piece of gothic metalwork stands tall at a height of 206 cm. The bagpipe itself is a fascinating musical instrument that takes center stage in this artwork. Its cylindrical drone and bell vent create a harmonious melody that resonates through time. The lord chancellor's artifact holds historical significance as it symbolizes power and authority during medieval times. The attention to detail is remarkable, evident in the intricate design elements such as the animal head chanter adorning the bagpipe. This adds an element of mystique to the overall composition. Displayed courtesy of New College, Oxford, this photograph allows us to appreciate not only its artistic value but also its cultural importance. It serves as a reminder of our rich heritage and how art can transcend centuries. As we gaze upon this stunning portrayal, we are transported back in time to witness both the craftsmanship of English artisans from long ago and their deep appreciation for music and beauty.
