EDITORS COMMENTS
This stained glass print, titled "Elijah and the Priests of Baal" transports viewers back to 1863 when it was created by the talented artist Edward Coley Burne-Jones. The intricate details of this piece can be found in St Michael's Church in Lyndhurst, UK. Manufactured by Morris, Marshall, Faulkner & Co and adapted from William White's design, this stunning artwork captures a significant biblical event. The scene depicts Elijah standing tall amidst a group of priests who worship the false idol Baal. As incense fills the air and prayers are offered up to their heathen deity, Elijah stands as a symbol of righteousness against these infidels. The neo-gothic style adds an ethereal quality to the image with its vibrant colors and meticulous craftsmanship. This pre-Raphaelite masterpiece showcases Burne-Jones' mastery in capturing both religious symbolism and historical narratives. The attention to detail is evident throughout; from the ox representing sacrifice to the ornate censer used for worship rituals. This Victorian-era stained glass window serves as a testament to British artistry during that time period. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we are reminded of the power of faith and devotion but also cautioned against falling prey to false idols. It is through pieces like these that we can appreciate not only artistic beauty but also delve into deeper theological themes that continue to resonate today.
