EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print captures a remarkable piece of history within Gloucester Cathedral in Gloucestershire, UK. The stained glass artwork, dating back to the 14th century and commonly referred to as "The Golfer" or the "Crecy Window" predates the first recorded game of golf by approximately 100 years. Intricately crafted by an unknown English artist from that era, this stunning depiction showcases a medieval sportsman in action. With his club raised high and eyes focused on the ball before him, he prepares for a powerful swing. The gothic architecture surrounding him adds an air of grandeur to this sporting scene. What makes this artwork particularly fascinating is its connection to golf's early origins. Long before it became a global phenomenon enjoyed by millions today, this ancient sport was already being depicted in art forms such as stained glass windows like these. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded of how deeply rooted our passions can be throughout history. This timeless portrayal serves as a testament to humanity's enduring love for sports and recreation across generations.
