The International Exhibition: design for the east window of St. George's Church... 1862. Creator: Unknown
The International Exhibition: design for the east window of St. George's Church, Doncaster, by Hardman and Co. of Birmingham, 1862. This window is designed and coloured strictly in accordance with the date (the fourteenth century) of the architecture of St. George's Church. It consists of eight lights, which are filled with the Passion of our Lord represented in eighteen groups - viz. the Entrance into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, Washing the Disciples Feet, the Treachery of Judas, the Agony in the Garden, the Scourging, the Mocking, the Ecce Homo, the Condemnation, the Carriage of the Cross, the Crucifixion, the Taking Down from the Cross, the Entombment, the Sealing of the Sepulchre, the Resurrection, the Noli Me Tangere, the Ascension, the Descent of the Holy Spirit. In the wheel of the tracery is the half figure of our Lord as the true vine, from whom, connected by the branches, are the Apostles, the Evangelists, and St. Michael and St. George, the smaller openings being filled with angels. This window is erected to the memory of the Rev. Dr. Sharpe, late of the church'. From "Illustrated London News", 1862

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the design for the east window of St. George's Church in Doncaster, created by Hardman and Co. of Birmingham for The International Exhibition in 1862. The window, dedicated to the memory of the Reverend Dr. Sharpe, is a stunning representation of the Passion of Christ, with eighteen intricately detailed groups spread across eight lights. The design adheres strictly to the architecture of the fourteenth-century church, creating a harmonious blend of old and new. The Entrance into Jerusalem, the Last Supper, the Agony in the Garden, and other significant moments from the Passion are depicted with great care and precision. The wheel of the tracery features a half figure of Christ as the true vine, with the Apostles, Evangelists, St. Michael, and St. George connected by the branches. Smaller openings are filled with angels. The eighteen groups in the window include the Last Supper, Washing the Disciples' Feet, the Treachery of Judas, the Agony in the Garden, the Scourging, the Mocking, the Ecce Homo, the Condemnation, the Carriage of the Cross, the Crucifixion, the Taking Down from the Cross, the Entombment, the Sealing of the Sepulchre, the Resurrection, the Noli Me Tangere, the Ascension, and the Descent of the Holy Spirit. The meticulous attention to detail and the deep religious symbolism make this window a masterpiece of Victorian stained glass art. Its installation in St. George's Church was a testament to the enduring power of art and faith in the hearts and minds of the people of Doncaster.
