EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the haunting and ethereal essence of John Henry Newman's "Dream of Gerontius". The frontispiece illustration by Robert T. Rose for the c.1914 edition is a mesmerizing depiction of a visitant knocking his dire summons at the door of Gerontius. The angel with striking red wings stands as a powerful and mysterious figure, symbolizing the spiritual journey and inner turmoil experienced by Gerontius.
Originally published in 1866, Newman's poetic masterpiece continues to captivate readers with its profound exploration of life, death, and redemption. The intricate details in this illustration bring to life the otherworldly realm that Gerontius encounters on his transcendent voyage.
The historical significance of this artwork is undeniable, as it reflects both the artistic style of its time and the timeless themes explored in Newman's work. It serves as a visual representation of the emotional depth and spiritual complexity found within "Dream of Gerontius".
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library is not just a beautiful piece of art but also a window into a world where dreams intersect with reality, inviting viewers to ponder on their own existential questions and search for meaning beyond what meets the eye.
