EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable gargoyle from the 15th century. Created by an English School artist, this grotesque stone face is one of forty that embellish St Peters C of E Church in Winchcombe, near Cheltenham. The year 1453 marks its existence, adding to its historical significance. The gargoyle's appearance is both scary and ugly, reflecting the medieval fascination with macabre imagery. Its intricate details are brought to life through the lens of Stephen Coyne, who skillfully captures the essence of this architectural masterpiece. As we delve into the image, we are transported back in time to England during the Middle Ages. This sculpture not only serves as a decorative element but also fulfills a practical purpose by diverting rainwater away from the building's walls. The bird-like features on this gargoyle add an intriguing touch to its overall design. It stands as a testament to the artistic prowess and craftsmanship prevalent during this period. Stephen Coyne's photograph beautifully highlights every aspect of this stunning piece of artistry. The colors and textures captured in his work enhance our appreciation for both architecture and sculpture. With all rights reserved for Stephen Coyne in 2022, this print allows us to bring home a piece of history while marveling at the creativity and imagination that thrived centuries ago.
