EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Monument to Michael Woodward" in all its grandeur. Crafted from marble by an unknown English School artist during the 17th century, this monumental piece stands as a testament to the life and legacy of Michael Woodward (1599-1675). The photograph captures every intricate detail of this baroque masterpiece, revealing a stunning combination of artistry and symbolism. Adorned with a coat of arms, effigy, and inscription, it serves as a poignant funerary tribute to this esteemed churchman and clergyman. The sculpture is surrounded by heavenly angels and cherubs, their delicate forms adding an ethereal touch to the composition. A Bible rests at his side, symbolizing his devotion to faith throughout his life. Notably, the broken pediment above him signifies mortality while cherubs serve as memento mori reminders. Within a niche adorned with cartouche elements lies his half-length portrait alongside a skull – powerful symbols reminding viewers of life's transience. This remarkable artwork evokes both reverence for Woodward's memory and contemplation on human existence. Its timeless beauty continues to captivate audiences even today. Courtesy of New College Oxford's Warden and Scholars, this print preserves the essence of this historical monument for generations to come. It offers us an opportunity to delve into history through art - appreciating not only its aesthetic appeal but also unraveling stories that lie within each carefully crafted element.
