EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant print showcases the exquisite craftsmanship of R. J. De Freitas in his creation titled "Finial, from Reredos, 1939". The finial, a decorative ornament typically found on top of an altar screen or reredos, is a testament to the artist's skill and attention to detail. Painted with watercolor colored pencil and graphite on paper, this multi-colored wooden piece exudes a sense of religious devotion and reverence. Its intricate design reflects the artistic style prevalent in America during the 1930s and 1940s. The Finial stands as a symbol of Christian faith and serves as an important element within church decoration. It represents not only the religious beliefs but also the cultural heritage of its time. This period item holds great significance for art enthusiasts seeking to explore American art history. Displayed at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , this artwork captivates viewers with its bold colors and meticulous craftsmanship. Through this photograph print, one can appreciate De Freitas' talent in bringing life to wood through paint. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to an era where artistic expression flourished amidst historical events shaping our nation. The Finial reminds us that art has always been intertwined with religion, culture, and history – serving as a visual representation of our collective identity as Americans.
