The Prioress Tale, decorated wardrobe
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a stunning oil painting on panel created by the talented artist Philip Webb in 1859. This exquisite piece of art, now housed in the Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, showcases Webb's exceptional craftsmanship and attention to detail. The painting depicts a scene from "The Prioress Tale" a story from Geoffrey Chaucer's famous work "The Canterbury Tales". The tale revolves around a young boy who miraculously continues to sing praises to the Virgin Mary even after his throat has been slit. The image captures this powerful moment with vivid colors and intricate brushwork. Webb's design for the wardrobe is equally impressive. It features delicate carvings and ornate details that reflect his involvement in the Arts and Crafts movement, which aimed to revive traditional craftsmanship during the 19th century. This artwork not only showcases Webb's artistic talent but also highlights his deep understanding of religious symbolism and storytelling. Through this painting, he brings to life an important legend from medieval times while paying homage to Christian beliefs. "The Prioress Tale, decorated wardrobe" stands as a testament to both Webb's skill as an artist and his ability to create meaningful works of art that resonate with viewers across time.
