EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable roundel depicting the Miraculous Draught of Fishes, dating back to the late 12th century. Created by the English School and found in Canterbury Cathedral, this stained glass masterpiece is a true testament to medieval artistry. The roundel depicts an awe-inspiring scene from the New Testament where Jesus Christ performs a miraculous catch of fish. The apostles-turned-fishermen are shown in their boat, casting their nets into the water as they witness this divine intervention. The intricate details of fishing implements and lines add depth and realism to this Gothic artwork. What makes this roundel even more intriguing is its symbolic representation of the Six Ages of the World through wine vessels personified by Adam, Noah, Abraham, David, Jeconias, and finally Christ with the Gospels. It beautifully captures not only a biblical event but also encapsulates significant moments throughout history. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we can't help but marvel at how it transports us back in time. The vibrant colors and delicate craftsmanship remind us of the skillful artisans who dedicated countless hours to create such breathtaking works of art. This print serves as a window into our past—a reminder that miracles can happen when faith meets perseverance. It invites us to reflect on our own journeys while appreciating both religious devotion and artistic excellence that have stood the test of time within Canterbury Cathedral's hallowed walls.
