EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures the ethereal beauty of "Peace Be Still, East Window" by Henry Holiday. Created in 1886, this stunning stained glass artwork adorns the St Mary Magdalene church in Mortehoe, Exeter, UK. The window was crafted by James Powell & Sons and showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of the Arts and Crafts movement. In this mesmerizing scene, we see a ship sailing through tumultuous waves while an angelic figure stands at its helm. This powerful imagery is derived from a biblical story where Jesus calms a storm with his mere presence. The intricate details of the rigging and mast showcase Holiday's mastery in capturing both movement and aestheticism. The composition exudes Victorian elegance with its richly colored glass panels that illuminate when touched by sunlight. Each disciple and apostle depicted on the boat conveys their awe-struck expressions as they witness this miraculous event unfold before them. "Peace Be Still, East Window" not only serves as a religious symbol but also embodies the Pre-Raphaelite style prevalent during that era. Its timeless message of finding solace amidst chaos resonates even today. Alastair Carew-Cox's expert photography skillfully preserves every delicate brushstroke and vibrant hue present in this remarkable piece of art history. As we gaze upon it, we are reminded to seek tranquility within ourselves despite life's storms – for peace can always be found if we have faith.
