EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite marble sculpture titled "Benevolentia" created by an English School artist. Located in St. James Church, Montego Bay, Jamaica, this neoclassical masterpiece is a testament to the rich colonial history of the Caribbean. The sculpture depicts a seated female figure embodying benevolence and virtue. Adorned with symbolic elements such as a wreath and medallion, she exudes grace and compassion. In her hand rests a snake, representing wisdom and transformation. Surrounded by birds and perched on a branch, she symbolizes motherhood and charity as she feeds baby birds from her hand. A pelican nearby adds to the allegorical narrative of nurturing kindness. Dating back to the 18th century Georgian era, this funerary monument serves as both memorial and tribute to West Indian culture. Its intricate relief work captures the essence of Jamaican heritage while reflecting Victorian influences. Photographed by Lucinda Lambton, this image preserves not only the beauty of "Benevolentia" but also its historical significance. The attention to detail in capturing every curve and contour highlights Lambton's talent for immortalizing fine art through photography. This print is more than just an aesthetic delight; it offers viewers an opportunity to delve into centuries-old symbolism that continues to resonate today.
