EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "The Abbot Ernestus slowly up the wall, steals the sunshine, steals the shade" we are transported into a world of mystery and intrigue. The image, captured by Sidney Meteyard in 1868-1947, showcases an enchanting scene from Henry Longfellow's poem "The Golden Legend". As our eyes wander across the frame, we witness a mesmerizing portrayal of temptation and religious symbolism. The figure of Abbot Ernestus seems to defy gravity as he ascends the wall with an air of malevolence. His presence is both captivating and unsettling. Meteyard skillfully captures the essence of Longfellow's words through his use of light and shadow. The sunbeams that filter through stained glass windows create a dramatic interplay between darkness and illumination. This clever manipulation adds depth to the composition while emphasizing the duality between good and evil. "The Abbot Ernestus slowly up the wall" serves as a poignant reminder that even within sacred spaces, sinister forces can lurk in unexpected places. As viewers delve deeper into this artwork, they are invited to contemplate themes such as faith, temptation, and human nature's propensity for succumbing to darker desires. This thought-provoking piece from Bridgeman Images invites us to reflect on our own vulnerabilities while appreciating Meteyard's artistic interpretation of Longfellow's timeless poem.
