EDITORS COMMENTS
This stained glass print, titled "Orpheus & Eurydice" transports us back to the year 1886. Created by Edward Holmes Jewitt, this masterpiece is located at Pownall Hall Farm in Wilmslow, Cheshire, UK. The design of this window was executed by the renowned Shrigley & Hunt studio. The artwork depicts a scene from Greek mythology: Orpheus, a powerful musician and lover, desperately tries to rescue his wife Eurydice from the depths of Hades. The tragic separation between these two lovers is beautifully portrayed through intricate patterns and motifs such as acanthus leaves and musical instruments. In true Pre-Raphaelite style, this piece exudes an idealized aestheticism that captures both the beauty and grief within the story. The Victorian era's fascination with power and tragedy is evident in every detail of this stunning stained glass design. Alastair Carew-Cox has expertly captured the essence of this timeless artwork through his photography skills. This print allows us to appreciate not only the skillful craftsmanship behind it but also its emotional depth and significance. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of love's ability to endure even in the face of loss. It serves as a poignant reminder that beauty can be found even in moments of great sorrow.
