Study for The Vale of Rest
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that captures the essence of a graveyard scene at twilight. Painted by John Everett Millais, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent in watercolor, gouache, and gum arabic on paper. In the foreground, we see a nun diligently digging a grave while another nun sits beside it with her hands clasped together, holding a rosary. The seated nun faces her companion but turns her gaze towards the viewer, inviting us to contemplate the solemnity of the moment. Behind them lie gravestones of various sizes, creating an atmosphere of tranquility and reflection. A low wall stands in the background alongside a short bell tower peeking through it. The sky above is tinged with yellow hues and adorned with only a few light grey clouds. Millais' attention to detail and skillful use of color bring this scene to life, evoking emotions associated with prayer and contemplation within a cemetery setting. This 13.3x20.9 cm artwork can be found at Manchester Art Gallery in the United Kingdom. As we observe "Study for The Vale of Rest" we are reminded not only of Millais' artistic brilliance but also our own mortality and spiritual journey. It serves as an invitation to pause amidst life's busyness and reflect upon deeper questions about faith, existence, and what lies beyond our earthly realm.
