EDITORS COMMENTS
This stained glass window, titled "Christ tempted" transports us back to 1861 in the Church of St Mary the Virgin, Lapworth, Warwickshire. Created by John Richard Clayton (1827-1913) and manufactured by Clayton & Bell, this piece exemplifies the beauty and artistry of neo-gothic design. The vibrant colors and intricate details draw our attention immediately. In the center stands Jesus Christ, depicted with a serene expression amidst a backdrop of rich reds and greens. His divine presence contrasts sharply with the menacing figure before him – Lucifer himself. The devil is portrayed as a fearsome dragon-like creature with wings spread wide. Its scales shimmer under the light that filters through this magnificent stained glass masterpiece. The artist skillfully captures both good and evil forces at play in this scene. As we gaze upon this artwork, we can almost feel the tension between temptation and righteousness emanating from it. It serves as a powerful reminder of Christ's unwavering determination to resist sin despite being confronted by its embodiment. This Victorian gothic creation embodies not only religious symbolism but also represents an important era in British art history. Through its combination of pre-Raphaelite influences and gothic revival elements, it showcases how artistic movements intersected during this period. Alastair Carew-Cox has masterfully captured every detail in his photograph print, allowing us to appreciate this stunning work even if we cannot witness it firsthand.
