EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite stained glass panel titled "Amor and Alcestis" created by Morris & Co. in 1864, based on Geoffrey Chaucer's Legend of Good Wimmen. Crafted by the renowned artist Burne-Jones, this masterpiece resides in a private collection. The image depicts a legendary tale of love and sacrifice. In the foreground, we see a couple deeply entwined in each other's arms, their bodies forming an elegant silhouette against the vibrant colors of the stained glass. The male figure exudes strength and devotion as he tenderly holds his lover close to him. Alcestis, portrayed as a symbol of feminine virtue and loyalty, gazes up at her beloved with adoration while clutching a delicate flower in her hand. This floral motif represents purity and beauty intertwined with their profound affection. The intricate details within this artwork are awe-inspiring; every brushstroke seems to breathe life into these mythical characters. The play of light through the stained glass creates an ethereal ambiance that transports viewers into another realm. As we admire this remarkable piece from Burne-Jones' repertoire, it is impossible not to be captivated by its timeless allure. It serves as a testament to both Chaucer's literary genius and the artistic mastery that Morris & Co. , under Burne-Jones' guidance, brought forth during this era.
