EDITORS COMMENTS
The East Window of Franz Josef Church in New Zealand, a breathtaking watercolor art piece created between 1935 and 1936 by renowned artist Franz Josef Baden. This stunning work of art graces the eastern wall of the quaint church located in the picturesque village of Franz Josef, on the West Coast of New Zealand's South Island. At the center of this vibrant and intricately detailed painting, the chief figure is Lord Franz Josef, the namesake of the village and the church. He is depicted in regal attire, with a serious yet compassionate expression, symbolizing the spiritual and community leadership he provided to the local population. Surrounding Lord Franz Josef are various elements of the natural world, including lush greenery, cascading waterfalls, and a serene lake, all reflecting the awe-inspiring beauty of the surrounding landscape. The lower portion of the window showcases a group of scouts, led by their head, Robert Powell, who are shown in various poses, embodying the spirit of adventure, exploration, and camaraderie. The scouts' presence in the window highlights the strong connection between the local community and the natural environment, emphasizing the importance of preserving and appreciating the natural wonders of New Zealand. Franz Josef Baden, a talented and dedicated artist, expertly captured the essence of the village and its people in this exquisite watercolor painting. The East Window of Franz Josef Church is not only a beautiful and captivating work of art but also a testament to the rich history and culture of this remarkable village in New Zealand.
