EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent stained glass artwork titled "Fortitude, 1884" by Carl Almquist. Located in St Paul Church in Bedford, Bedfordshire, UK, this piece was created by the renowned architectural firm Shrigley & Hunt during the Arts and Crafts movement. The image depicts a figure representing Fortitude, one of the cardinal virtues. Adorned with intricate drapery and holding a staff, this full-length male personification exudes strength and tenacity. The pre-Raphaelite influence is evident in its form and contrapposto stance.
