This print showcases a beautifully painted window in St Bartholomews Hospital, located in the historic Smithfield area of City of London. Created by an unknown artist in 1810, this stunning piece of stained glass artistry depicts the rich history and significance of this renowned hospital. Founded back in 1123 by Rahere, the Prior of St Bartholomews Priory, after he experienced a divine vision of the saint himself, St Bartholomews Hospital has been providing medical care for centuries and continues to do so even today. This image captures not only the artistic brilliance but also serves as a reminder of the enduring legacy that this institution holds. The aquatint technique used to create this print adds depth and vibrancy to every color and detail portrayed.
