EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable watercolour painting by Elsie Matley Moore, capturing the essence of "The Last Supper". Located in St Mary's Church, Madley, Herefordshire, this stunning stained glass artwork adorns the east window of the apse in the chancel. Dating back to August 1941, this medieval-inspired illustration transports viewers into a biblical scene filled with profound religious significance. Intricately detailed and beautifully executed, Moore's watercolour brings to life one of Christianity's most iconic moments. The Last Supper depicts Jesus Christ sharing his final meal with his disciples before his crucifixion. At its heart lies an exquisite portrayal of St John reclining on the breast of Christ – a poignant symbol of their close bond and spiritual connection. Through her masterful brushstrokes and vibrant colors, Moore captures both the solemnity and intimacy that permeate this sacred event. The aerial perspective adds depth to the composition while emphasizing its grandeur within St Mary's Church. This extraordinary piece not only serves as a testament to Moore's artistic talent but also stands as a testament to faith and devotion throughout history. It invites contemplation and reflection upon timeless themes such as sacrifice, friendship, and divine love. As we gaze upon this awe-inspiring image captured by Historic England, we are transported across time and space into an ancient world where spirituality intertwines with artistry - reminding us of our shared human experience through centuries-old traditions that continue to shape our lives today.
