EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stained glass artwork titled "Figure of Fortitude" created by Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1896. The piece is housed at the Laing Art Gallery in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, UK. Originally commissioned for St Cuthberts Church in Melbourne Street, Newcastle upon Tyne, these windows depict two poignant biblical episodes involving King David's emotional journey. In one scene, we witness him fervently praying and shedding tears for his ailing child's life, while the other portrays his unwavering acceptance of the child's tragic demise. These remarkable windows were dedicated to Arthur Gibson and his children Rex and Phoebe who passed away during the late 19th century. The craftsmanship displayed within this mosaic-style artistry reflects elements of British Arts and Crafts movement prevalent during that era. The figure depicted exudes strength and bravery as she stands armed with a shield and sword amidst an array of arrows symbolizing courage personified. This pre-Raphaelite masterpiece beautifully captures fortitude as an essential virtue. Burne-Jones' attention to detail shines through every brushstroke on this stained glass window panel, showcasing his mastery over color composition and light manipulation. It serves as a testament to both the artist's skillful technique and the enduring power of visual storytelling within religious contexts. This awe-inspiring photograph immortalizes Burne-Jones' profound artistic contribution while offering viewers a glimpse into history through its connection to St Cuthberts Church - now lost but forever remembered through this stunning work of art.
