EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a remarkable wood carving known as "Misericord" by the English School, located in Carlisle Cathedral, Cumbria, UK. Dating back to the 12th century, this medieval masterpiece depicts a powerful scene of domestic strife and physical struggle between a married couple. The intricate carving showcases an enraged wife fiercely attacking her husband with visible anger and intensity. This portrayal of violence within marriage offers a glimpse into the complex dynamics of relationships during that era. The artist skillfully conveys raw emotion through every stroke, capturing the bitterness and fury present in this intense dispute. With its origins rooted in Germany's rich cultural heritage, this artwork is not only an anecdote from history but also represents one of the seven deadly sins - wrath. The bas-reliefs on this wooden sculpture bring to life the emotions experienced by individuals caught up in such conflicts. As we gaze upon this thought-provoking image, it serves as a reminder of how human emotions transcend time and place. It prompts us to reflect on our own understanding of relationships and confronts us with the harsh realities faced by couples throughout history. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this significant piece for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
