EDITORS COMMENTS
Title: "St. Giles and the Deer," by John Archibald Wells (1875-1956) This oil painting, created by British artist John Archibald Wells in 1920, showcases the timeless tale of St. Giles and the deer. The young woman in the foreground, dressed in a vibrant red gown and a black cloak with a hood, is St. Giles, a hermit known for his compassion and devotion to the poor and needy. Kneeling on the lush, green grass, she tenderly reaches out to touch a young deer that has approached her. The serene expression on her face conveys a deep connection between the saint and the gentle creature. The background of the painting is populated with various figures, including a horseman and villagers, who seem to be in awe of the scene unfolding before them. The rich colors and intricate details of the painting transport the viewer to a bygone era, evoking a sense of tranquility and wonder. This beautiful work of art was first published in the prestigious British magazine, The Studio, in Volume 14, 1921. The magazine was a leading publication for visual arts and literature during the early 20th century, and the inclusion of Wells' painting in its pages attests to its enduring appeal and artistic merit. The striking composition, masterful use of color, and the storytelling quality of the painting make it a true masterpiece of the early 20th-century art scene. This image is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to inspire awe and wonder in the hearts of all who behold it.
