EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the stunning stained glass artwork titled "Faith" by Thomas Jervais. The image, courtesy of the Warden and Scholars of New College, Oxford, captures a profound piece from the larger West Window commissioned by the college in 1785. The focal point of this masterpiece is a yellow-robed female figure representing Faith, one of the three theological virtues. Her devout and faithful persona is beautifully personified through her serene expression and graceful posture. Adorned with intricate tracery and gothic motifs, she stands tall on a golden plinth, exuding an aura of piety. A cross held firmly in her hands symbolizes belief and devotion while emphasizing her unwavering faith. The crucifix at her side further reinforces this religious theme. Jervais' meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this artwork - from the delicately crafted robes to the ornate design elements that surround Faith. The vibrant colors used bring life to this Gothic-inspired stained glass window. This remarkable print not only serves as a visual delight but also invites contemplation on matters of spirituality and virtue. It reminds us of the power that faith holds in our lives – providing strength during challenging times and guiding us towards greater understanding and enlightenment.
