The International Exhibition: stained-glass window by Messrs. J. Ballantine and Son... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: stained-glass window by Messrs. J. Ballantine and Son, Edinburgh, 1862. This window...has for its subject the Crucifixion, and is to be erected in Prestolee Church, Lancashire, as a memorial to the late Mr. Thomas B. Crompton, of Farnworth...In the centre compartment is seen the body of Christ nailed to the cross, round the foot of which has gathered a sorrowing group, among whom the Virgin Mary and the disciple John are conspicuous...[On] the right of this hangs the repentant thief, his face wearing in death an expression of resigned and hopeful calmness; and in the left one is the impenitent sinner, whose fearfully distorted lineaments, iron-pierced and rope-bound hands, and muscles distended almost to bursting, show the intense agony with which he met his end; while in the two outer sections are the Roman sentinels, two of them busy in the foreground on the left casting dice for the garments of the Saviour...in the mullion tracery are introduced angels bearing scrolls...In colour the window has all the power and harmony of a high-class, deep-toned picture, preserving at the same time in great perfection the brilliancy and transparency indispensable in all mediums for the transmission of light'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning stained-glass window, entitled "The International Exhibition: Stained-Glass Window by Messrs. J. Ballantine and Son, Edinburgh, 1862," is a breathtaking work of art that tells the story of the Crucifixion. Commissioned as a memorial to the late Thomas B. Crompton of Farnworth, Lancashire, the window was created by the renowned stained-glass makers, Messrs. J. Ballantine and Son. The central compartment of the window depicts the body of Christ on the cross, surrounded by a sorrowful group of onlookers, including the Virgin Mary and the disciple John. On the right, the repentant thief is shown with a serene expression on his face, while the impenitent sinner on the left is depicted with distorted features, iron-pierced hands, and muscles straining in intense agony. The two outer sections of the window feature Roman sentinels, one of whom is seen casting dice for the garments of the Saviour in the foreground on the left. The intricate mullion tracery of the window is adorned with angels bearing scrolls, adding to the overall beauty and harmony of the piece. In terms of color, the window is a masterpiece, boasting the deep tones and perfect transparency necessary for the transmission of light. The use of color creates a high-class, picture-like effect that captivates the viewer and transports them to a spiritual realm. This window is not only a testament to the artistic skill of Messrs. J. Ballantine and Son but also a powerful representation of the Crucifixion and the emotions it evokes. Its beauty and intricacy continue to inspire awe and wonder, making it a cherished addition to Prestolee Church.
