EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Tower of Babel, 1857" stained glass window, created by the renowned artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones. Located in the College Dining Hall at Bradfield in the UK, this masterpiece was manufactured by James Powell & Sons based on Burne-Jones' first design. The image captures the essence of chaos and confusion depicted in this neo-gothic artwork. The Tower of Babel stands tall and colorful, representing a momentous event from the Old Testament. Its intricate details and vibrant hues draw viewers into a world filled with sinners being punished for their hubris. Through this stunning stained glass window, Burne-Jones explores themes of language, communication, and understanding. The tower's construction symbolizes mankind's attempt to reach divine heights but ultimately leads to punishment as God confuses their tongues. This Victorian gothic piece is a testament to both artistic skill and religious storytelling. It exemplifies the pre-Raphaelite art movement that sought inspiration from medieval aesthetics while infusing it with contemporary sensibilities. As we gaze upon this remarkable work of art captured by Alastair Carew-Cox's lens, we are reminded of humanity's inherent flaws and our constant struggle for redemption amidst chaos.
