EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the magnificent artwork of Harry Clarke, titled "Queens Who Cut the Bogs of Glanna, Judith of Scripture, and Glorianna" from 1910. Originally designed for Laurence Waldron's library in Marino, Ballybrack, Killiney, Co. Dublin, these panels were inspired by John Millington Synge's poem called "Queens". The image depicts three powerful queens standing together. In this mesmerizing composition, we see a striking contrast between the vibrant red hues and the solemn expressions on their faces. Each queen holds a weapon symbolizing strength and power. Their regal headdresses and elaborate dresses further emphasize their royal status. The central figure is Judith of Scripture from the Old Testament who famously beheaded Holofernes to save her people. To her left stands Glorianna, an enigmatic queen whose identity remains mysterious but exudes an air of authority. On the right is another unnamed queen associated with cutting bogs in Glanna. Harry Clarke's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this stained glass panel; from intricate hair designs to delicate sword embellishments. This piece not only captures religious themes but also explores concepts such as warfare and literature through its portrayal of strong female characters. Published in The Studio Volume 78 in London during 1919-20, this print continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and artistic brilliance. It serves as a testament to Harry Clarke's mastery as an artist while honoring John Millington Synge's evocative poetry that inspired its creation.
