EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail of the north window of the Choir in Canterbury Cathedral, dating back to the late 12th century. The stained glass masterpiece, titled "Good Ground: Daniel, Job and Noah" was created by an English School artist during the medieval period. In this particular section of the window, we are presented with a scene that exudes both grandeur and spirituality. Three figures stand prominently amidst a heavenly backdrop adorned with rulers, crowns, and angels. These figures represent biblical characters from the Old Testament - Daniel, Job, and Noah. The intricate craftsmanship is evident as each figure is meticulously depicted in vibrant colors against a delicate gothic architectural framework. The attention to detail is remarkable; every fold in their garments seems to come alive under the warm glow of sunlight streaming through the stained glass. As our gaze moves upward towards these noble figures' heads, we notice they are crowned by angelic beings hovering above them. This symbolic gesture signifies divine recognition for their righteousness and faithfulness. The inscription beneath originally read: "God sowed the words of the father: from these his fruit increased on good ground threefold; his own crown was given to each". It serves as a reminder that those who remain steadfast in their devotion will be rewarded abundantly. This extraordinary piece of art transports us back centuries ago when such masterpieces were commissioned to inspire awe and reverence among worshippers entering Canterbury Cathedral's sacred space.
