EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative painting by Walter Dendy Sadler titled 'Monks at Dinner - Friday,' we are transported back in time to a monastic dining hall in the early 20th century. The scene depicts monks and guests gathered around a long table, partaking in their weekly Friday meal. Despite their vow to abstain from meat on Fridays, the Abbot and his followers are permitted to indulge in a sumptuous feast of fish, accompanied by an ample supply of wine. The monks, dressed in their traditional robes, engage in animated conversation as they savor each bite. The guests, clad in elegant attire, seem to fit comfortably into the monastic setting, adding a sense of intrigue to the scene. The Abbot, seated at the head of the table, presides over the meal with a calm and authoritative demeanor. The painting captures the unique blend of order and relaxation that exists within the monastic community. The rules and regulations of monastic life are evident in the structured arrangement of the dining hall and the formal attire of the monks. Yet, there is a sense of joy and camaraderie among the diners, as they share a meal and engage in lively conversation. The use of light and color in the painting adds to its overall charm. The warm glow of the candles illuminates the room, casting a soft, inviting light on the diners and their meal. The rich reds and golds of the lobster and octopus, along with the golden hue of the wine, contrast beautifully with the cool blues and greens of the table and the monks' robes. This painting, created by Walter Dendy Sadler in 1913, is now a cherished part of the collection at the Walker Art Gallery in Liverpool. It offers a fascinating glimpse into the monastic dining traditions of the past and invites us to reflect on the enduring allure of communal meals and the bonds they create.
