EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing detail from the Miracle Window, depicting the intriguing story of Mad Matilda of Cologne. Created by an English School in the 13th century, this stained glass artwork can be found within the grand walls of Canterbury Cathedral in Kent, UK. The image transports us back to medieval times, where we witness a woman plagued by sickness and madness. The artist skillfully captures her torment through vivid colors and intricate details. We are left to ponder the depths of her insanity as she is shown being beaten mercilessly. The piece serves as a poignant reminder of the harsh realities faced by those afflicted with mental illness during that era. It offers a glimpse into society's understanding (or lack thereof) and treatment of such conditions at that time. Despite its somber subject matter, there is undeniable beauty in this work of art. The delicate brushstrokes and expert craftsmanship demonstrate the mastery possessed by artists centuries ago. Bridgeman Images has done an exceptional job preserving this historical gem for future generations to appreciate. This print allows us to bring home a piece of history while also sparking conversations about mental health awareness and compassion towards those who suffer from it today.
