EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable Tapestry long cushion depicting Faith, Hope, and Charity. Created in Sheldon, England during the late 16th century, this exquisite piece of art is a true testament to the skill and craftsmanship of its time. Made from wool, it measures 52.1x95.8 cm and is currently housed at the Burrell Collection in Glasgow, Scotland. The tapestry itself is an allegory that beautifully personifies these virtues. Faith is represented by a female figure holding a cross with unwavering conviction; Hope stands tall with an anchor symbolizing optimism for the future; while Charity extends her hand to offer kindness and compassion to those in need. This textile masterpiece not only reflects the artistic talent prevalent in England during this period but also serves as a reminder of the importance placed on these virtues within society. It speaks volumes about the values cherished by people of that era. As we admire this stunning artwork captured through Bridgeman Images' lens, let us appreciate its historical significance and marvel at how it has stood the test of time. The intricate details woven into every thread tell stories of faith, hope, and charity that continue to resonate with audiences today.
