EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning photograph captures the exquisite detail and artistic collaboration that went into the creation of the St. George Cabinet, designed by Philip Webb and decorated with painted panels by William Morris. Dated circa 1862, this wall cabinet is a masterpiece of the Arts and Crafts movement, which emphasized the importance of craftsmanship and the integration of art and design in everyday life. The decorative panels depict scenes from the story of St. George, the legendary English saint known for his bravery and devotion. Morris, a close friend of Webb and a leading figure of the Arts and Crafts movement, brought the panels to life with his intricate and vibrant designs. The figures of St. George and the dragon, as well as the princess and the knights, were modeled after Morris's friends and contemporaries. Edward Burne-Jones and Dante Gabriel Rossetti posed for the painted figures, while Morris's wife, Jane, served as the model for the princess. The collaboration between Webb and Morris represents the close-knit community of artists, designers, and craftsmen who came together during the Arts and Crafts movement to create beautiful and functional objects. The St. George Cabinet is a testament to their shared vision and commitment to excellence, and a reminder of the enduring influence of the Arts and Crafts movement on the world of art and design.
