EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the intricate stained glass artwork titled "The Pelican In Her Piety & Angels With Scrolls" by Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Created in 1890, this masterpiece can be found at St Mary The Virgin Church in Ingestre, Stafford, UK. The image showcases the remarkable craftsmanship of Morris & Co. , with JH Dearle adapting the original design. It belongs to the Arts and Crafts movement and exemplifies the Victorian era's fascination with religious symbolism and aesthetics. In this piece, we see a young pelican feeding her chicks with her own blood, symbolizing self-sacrifice and piety. Surrounding her are angels holding scrolls adorned with inscriptions from medieval texts. The meticulous details of foliage patterns and stylized script add to its beauty. Burne-Jones' work is deeply rooted in Pre-Raphaelite ideals, emphasizing idealized figures and rich iconography. This stained glass window not only serves as a religious symbol but also as an exquisite example of artistry during that period. Through this photograph by Alastair Carew-Cox, viewers can appreciate the complexity of Victorian stained glass art while immersing themselves in its profound religious significance.
