EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale captures a poignant moment from Michael Fairless' "The Gathering of Brother Hilarius." The illustration depicts a scene where the poor and destitute gather at the monastery gate, seeking food and shelter. Despite their own hunger, the brethren inside do not turn them away, showing compassion and generosity towards those in need.
The vibrant colours used in this print bring to life the themes of love, romance, and selflessness portrayed in Fairless' work. The contrast between the poverty-stricken figures outside and the warmth emanating from within the monastery creates a powerful visual narrative that speaks to our shared humanity.
Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail and emotive storytelling make this illustration a true work of art that resonates with viewers on a deep emotional level. It serves as a reminder of the importance of kindness, empathy, and solidarity in times of hardship.
As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of our duty to care for one another and uplift those who are less fortunate. It is a timeless message that continues to inspire us to act with compassion and love towards our fellow human beings.
