EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning print captures the beauty and history of a Medieval painted 11th Century Rood, affixed to the exterior wall of Romsey Abbey in Hampshire. The intricately detailed artwork depicts a life-size Christ standing beneath the hand of God, creating a powerful and moving image. The Rood, which dates back to the 11th century, is a rare and precious piece of medieval art that has stood the test of time. Its presence on the abbey's south side near the Abbess's doorway adds an air of mystery and reverence to this historic site. The stone carving shows Jesus Christ on the cross, symbolizing his crucifixion and sacrifice for humanity. The craftsmanship and attention to detail in this piece are truly remarkable, showcasing the skill and dedication of artists from centuries past. As we gaze upon this photograph taken in the 1930s by Grenville Collins, we are transported back in time to an era where faith and art were intertwined in beautiful harmony. This image serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and spiritual traditions that continue to inspire us today.
