EDITORS COMMENTS
This stained glass artwork, titled "Falsehood" is a mesmerizing portrayal of deceit and illusion. Created by Harry Burrow in 1873, it beautifully captures the essence of William Langland's poem "Piers Ploughman". The artwork can be found adorning St Marys Church in Cleobury Mortimer, Shropshire. The image depicts a woman wearing an intricate mask, symbolizing falsehood and lies. She stands amidst a picturesque landscape, surrounded by lush gardens and medieval elements such as thistles. This allegorical representation showcases the allure and danger of deception. Burrow's artistic style reflects the aesthetics of the Arts and Crafts movement prevalent during that era. The stained glass window exudes a sense of movement with its vibrant colors and stylized design. The artist skillfully personifies Falsehood as a femme fatale figure, embodying both beauty and treachery. Through this visual narrative, he explores themes of deceit within Victorian literature. This stunning piece seamlessly combines nature-inspired imagery with literary symbolism to create an evocative composition that captivates viewers' attention. It serves as a reminder to question appearances and seek truth beyond mere illusions. Alastair Carew-Cox has captured this remarkable artwork through his lens, preserving its beauty for generations to come. As we admire this print today, we are transported back in time to appreciate the rich storytelling traditions embedded within art forms like stained glass windows.
