EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting beauty of Lichfield Cathedral - The Sleeping Children. Created by Francis Legatt Chantrey in the 19th century, this exquisite engraving measures 21.6x14 cm and is housed at The William Salt Library in Stafford, UK. The artwork depicts a touching monument erected at Lichfield Cathedral to honor two beloved children. In this statue, aptly named The Sleeping Children, we witness two little ones peacefully slumbering in each other's arms. With a base length of 8.5 inches and a carved length of 7 inches, every detail has been meticulously crafted. Accompanying this poignant scene is a line from Milton: "O fairest flowers, no sooner blown than blasted". These words add an extra layer of depth to the artwork as they reflect on life's fleeting nature and the fragility of innocence. Through this photo print, viewers are transported into a realm where time stands still and emotions run deep. It captures not only the architectural grandeur of Lichfield Cathedral but also evokes feelings of tenderness and nostalgia. As you gaze upon this remarkable piece captured by Bridgeman Images for Fine Art Finder, allow yourself to be immersed in its ethereal ambiance—a testament to both artistic brilliance and eternal love for these sleeping children.
