EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back in time to the 15th century, where we witness an exquisite oil on canvas painting depicting "The Legend of St. Etheldreda". This masterpiece by the English School showcases the life and accomplishments of this remarkable woman. St. Etheldreda, also known as St. Audrey, was a prominent figure in medieval England. Born around 636 AD, she went on to become Queen of Northumbria and later devoted herself to a life of piety as Abbess of Ely. In this scene, we see St. Etheldreda's regal presence alongside her husband, the king, adorned with crowns symbolizing their royal status. The backdrop reveals a magnificent building that represents Ely Monastery—a testament to her patronage and devotion. However, it is not just her royal connections that define her legacy; it is also her chaste and pious nature that made her revered by many during those times. The image hints at another significant aspect—the ceremony surrounding death and burial—as laborers can be seen constructing what appears to be a coffin nearby. This print serves as both an artistic marvel and historical documentation—providing us with insight into the fascinating world of medieval England while honoring one exceptional woman who became a beloved patron saint for generations to come.
