EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the essence of a significant historical artifact - the Memorial Plaque, c. 1949 by Ernest George Gillick. The plaster sculpture, measuring 38x53x10 cm, is housed in Leeds Museums and Galleries (Leeds Art Gallery) in the United Kingdom. The relief sculpture depicts an angel with outstretched wings, gracefully hovering above a sister figure. The intricate inscription on the plaque reads "Louisa Drinkwater Carver" suggesting that this artwork serves as a commemoration or memorial to someone named Louisa who has passed away. The delicate details of the angel's wings and the expressive features on both figures evoke a sense of sorrow and remembrance. This piece stands as a testament to Gillick's skill in capturing emotions through his sculptures. As we gaze upon this photograph print from Fine Art Finder, we are transported back to 1949 when this memorial plaque was created. It reminds us of our own mortality and prompts reflection on those who have left us but live forever in our memories. Through its timeless beauty and poignant subject matter, this artwork invites viewers to contemplate life's fragility while honoring those who have departed. It serves as a powerful reminder that even though time passes, their memory remains etched within our hearts.
