EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "East End of Chapel" takes us on a journey back in time to the 19th century. The intricate details and skilled craftsmanship bring to life the historical significance of Merton College's chapel in Oxford. The image showcases the grandeur and architectural beauty of this sacred space, with its towering spires reaching towards the heavens. The play of light and shadow adds depth to every corner, highlighting the exquisite stained glass windows that adorn the walls. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost hear echoes of prayers whispered by generations of scholars who sought solace within these hallowed halls. It is a testament to both faith and knowledge, reminding us of the profound role universities have played throughout history. This engraving was originally created as an illustration for Joseph Foster's book "Oxford Men and their Colleges" published in 1893. Its inclusion in private collections has preserved its legacy, allowing us to appreciate not only its artistic merit but also its historical value. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents this remarkable piece from their collection, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in a world where past meets present.
