EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the remarkable brass effigy of John Lowthe, dating back to 1427. Created by an unknown English artist from the 15th century, this piece is a testament to the exquisite craftsmanship of medieval times. The image captures John Lowthe in a moment of prayer, his full-length figure depicted with utmost precision and detail. Clad in elegant robes and gesturing with a scroll in hand, he exudes an air of solemnity and devotion. The stone floor beneath him serves as a stark reminder of his funerary context. Intricate inlay work adorns the brass effigy, adding depth and texture to its surface. An inscription accompanies the portrait, providing historical context for viewers who are drawn into this fascinating glimpse into the past. Courtesy of New College, Oxford, this print allows us to appreciate not only the artistic mastery behind John Lowthe's memorial but also offers insight into his role as a fellow at New College during that era. As we admire this timeless piece captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are transported back centuries ago when prayer was central to daily life and art served as both remembrance and homage to those who came before us.
