EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intricate details of a panel in the 15th century square font at Holy Rood Church in Shilton, West Oxfordshire. The focal point of this panel is the powerful depiction of the Crucifixion of Christ. In the center, we see Jesus on the cross, surrounded by profound symbolism and emotion. To his right stands a woman, possibly Mary, while to his left is a man holding a book, perhaps representing one of his disciples or an important figure from biblical history. The scene is beautifully framed with vertical supports that add depth and structure to this sacred artwork. Additionally, each corner of the font features a robed figure standing guard over this significant religious symbol. This stunning medieval sculpture serves as a reminder of Easter's significance and its central theme: sacrifice and redemption through Christ's crucifixion. The artist has expertly captured not only the physicality but also the spiritual essence behind this pivotal moment in Christian history. E M Booty's skillful photography allows us to appreciate every delicate detail within this historical masterpiece. Through this photo print, viewers can immerse themselves in both artistry and spirituality as they contemplate the profound meaning behind such an iconic representation of faith.
