EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Pelican In Her Piety" a stunning stained glass artwork created by Edward Coley Burne-Jones in 1890. The piece can be found at St Mary The Virgin Church in Ingestre, Stafford, UK. A masterpiece of the Arts and Crafts movement, this intricate stained glass window was designed by Morris & Co. , known for their exceptional craftsmanship. It depicts a pelican feeding her young with blood from her own breast, symbolizing self-sacrifice and piety. The image exudes a sense of majesty and beauty with its stylized patterns and foliage surrounding the central figure. Burne-Jones' attention to detail is evident as he captures the delicate feathers of the bird and creates an ethereal atmosphere through his use of vibrant colors. "The Pelican In Her Piety" holds deep religious symbolism within Christianity, representing Christ's sacrifice for humanity. This Victorian-era artwork reflects the Pre-Raphaelite style that sought to revive medieval art forms while embracing aestheticism. Through this photograph, Alastair Carew-Cox skillfully captures not only the physical beauty of this stained glass masterpiece but also its spiritual significance. It serves as a reminder of faith, devotion, and the power of artistic expression to convey profound messages across generations.
