Halliday is not just a name, but a legacy that spans generations. From Simon Halliday to Vincent Halliday, this family has left an indelible mark on the world of art and culture. In the quiet corners of Nicholaston Church, one can find the ethereal beauty of "Angels in Chancel Cornice. " These heavenly beings seem to come alive in black and white photographs, reminding us of the divine presence surrounding us. The artistic prowess of Flaxman shines through in his masterpieces like "The Horses of the Morning" and "Atossas Dream. " These intricate works transport us to mythical realms where dreams intertwine with reality. But it's not just ancient tales that captivate our imagination; there is also a fascination with death and its rituals. In "Offering to the Dead, " we catch a glimpse into ancient practices that honor those who have passed on. The intensity continues as we witness Orestes being pursued by furies in another antique artwork. Yet amidst all this darkness, there is hope. In Flaxman's masterpiece "The Furies Departing, " we see these tormentors finally leaving Orestes behind. It symbolizes redemption and liberation from past sins. Orestes seeks solace at Apollo's feet in "Orestes Suppliant to Apollo. " This poignant scene reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is always someone or something offering guidance and support. Phoebus bestows his birthday gifts upon mortals in Flaxman's enchanting creation titled "The Birthday Gifts of Phoebus. " It serves as a reminder that life itself is a precious gift filled with endless possibilities waiting to be unwrapped. And then comes the thunderous roar echoing through time –the exhilarating chariot race depicted by an unknown antique artist. The adrenaline rush captured within this artwork transports us back to ancient arenas where bravery met speed head-on.
