EDITORS COMMENTS
The Wise and Foolish Virgins, c. 1868 (stained glass) is a stunning piece of artwork that can be found in the Church of St Mary in Putney, London. Created by Alfred Hassam and manufactured by Heaton, Butler & Bayne, this stained glass window depicts the biblical parable of the ten virgins. In this scene, we see a group of young women dressed as bridesmaids standing before an enchanting castle. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring this neo-gothic masterpiece to life. Each figure represents either wisdom or folly, symbolizing the choices we make in our own lives. The artist skillfully captures the essence of morality through his portrayal of these characters. The wise virgins are depicted with lamps filled with oil, representing their preparedness for life's challenges. On the other hand, the foolish virgins are shown without oil in their lamps, signifying their lack of foresight and poor decision-making. This Victorian-era stained glass window not only showcases exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a reminder to viewers about the importance of making wise choices in life. It stands as a testament to both religious devotion and artistic expression. As you gaze upon this remarkable work of art, let it inspire you to seek wisdom and make thoughtful decisions on your own journey through life.
