EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite sculpture of "Saint James the Great" from the Midlands, possibly Nottingham, dating back to around 1500. Crafted by an anonymous English artist during the 16th century, this alabaster masterpiece stands at a remarkable size of 39.7 x 16.7 x 5.2 cm. The delicate details and expert craftsmanship are evident in every inch of this artwork. Traces of gilding and polychromy add a touch of opulence to Saint James' figure, enhancing his divine presence. The use of alabaster as the medium further enhances the ethereal quality that emanates from this piece. Acquired by The Henry Barber Trust and displayed at The Barber Institute of Fine Arts, University of Birmingham, this artwork is a testament to its historical significance and artistic value. Its inclusion in their collection serves as a reminder of England's rich cultural heritage. Through this print by Bridgeman Images, viewers can appreciate not only the technical skill involved but also delve into the spiritual symbolism embodied by Saint James himself. As one gazes upon his serene expression and graceful posture, they are transported back in time to an era where religious devotion was deeply ingrained in society. This image invites contemplation on faith, history, and artistry – all encapsulated within one exceptional sculpture that has stood the test of time.
