EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Winchester window" a stunning piece of stained glass art from the 14th century. Depicting St. John the Evangelist, St. James the Less, and the prophet Zephaniah, this masterpiece is housed in the prestigious Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Crafted by English School artists in the workshop of Thomas of Oxford, this exquisite artwork was commissioned by William of Wykeham, Bishop of Winchester (1366-1404), specifically for Winchester College. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life these revered figures from Christian history. St. John the Evangelist stands tall with his symbol, an eagle, representing his divine inspiration as he wrote one of the four Gospels. Beside him is St. James the Less, recognized for his humility and devotion to spreading Christianity despite facing persecution. Completing this remarkable composition is Zephaniah, a lesser-known biblical figure who prophesied during tumultuous times but offered hope through faith. This print allows us to appreciate not only its artistic beauty but also its historical significance within religious iconography. It serves as a reminder of how art has long been intertwined with spirituality and continues to inspire awe and reverence today.
