EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print captures the awe-inspiring Genealogical Panels, dating back to the late 12th century, housed within Canterbury Cathedral in England. Created by artist CM Dixon in the 20th century, these panels are a remarkable testament to medieval art and religious devotion. Originally located in the Choir of Canterbury Cathedral, they now find their home in the South West transept. When first installed, these figures represented the largest known series depicting the genealogy of Christ. The names inscribed on them are primarily derived from the Gospel of St Luke, with additional names sourced from the Gospel of St Matthew. The image showcases a group of men sitting outdoors amidst stunning stained glass windows. Each panel portrays human likeness with meticulous attention to detail and vivid colors that have stood the test of time. These figures symbolize generations upon generations who paved way for Jesus Christ's lineage. Canterbury Cathedral itself is an iconic symbol of Christianity and holds immense historical significance as one of England's most revered places of worship. Nestled in Kent county, this mediaeval masterpiece continues to inspire visitors with its grandeur and spiritual aura even today. Through this photograph by Mike Dixon (not affiliated with any company), viewers can glimpse into a moment frozen in time - a testament to faith, heritage, and artistic brilliance that has endured for centuries.
