EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a detailed study of the arch mouldings, spandrel, and string course found in Bourges Cathedral, France. Created by artist Arthur Burgess in 1880-87, this artwork beautifully captures the intricate architectural elements of the cathedral. The image depicts half an arcade spandrel on the left side, while full spandrels of a blind arcade are featured on the right. The spandrels exhibit a winding foliate design that adds an elegant touch to the composition. Above them is a string course adorned with a foliate pattern and profiled birds with their beaks pointing towards the right. Burgess's use of watercolor and charcoal with white on paper brings out both color and texture in this piece. The Guild of St George at Sheffield Museums Trust proudly holds this artwork as part of its collection. This 19th-century masterpiece provides viewers with an opportunity to appreciate not only Burgess's artistic skill but also the exquisite decorative details found within Bourges Cathedral. Its ornate leaf motifs, graceful arches, and meticulous attention to detail make it a true work of art. With no people present in this unpopulated scene captured through charcoal sketching techniques, one can fully immerse themselves in studying every aspect of these architectural features. This print serves as a testament to both historical preservation and artistic excellence.
