EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the opening scene in Philip James Bailey's renowned play, Festus. Created by artist Andrew MacCallum, this oil painting on canvas transports us to a serene lakeside setting in Nottingham. The reflection of the landscape on the calm waters adds an ethereal touch to the scene. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque river and surrounded by lush greenery, we witness a profound moment infused with Christian symbolism. This powerful visual representation invites contemplation on themes of spirituality and religion prevalent in Bailey's work. The 19th-century poet's influence is palpable as we imagine ourselves stepping into his world through this mesmerizing artwork. The soft hues and gentle brushstrokes evoke both tranquility and anticipation, perfectly capturing the atmosphere of morning or evening. MacCallum skillfully brings together elements from different centuries, merging traditional techniques with contemporary sensibilities. This fusion creates an intriguing juxtaposition that sparks curiosity about how these two artistic periods intersect. As we gaze upon this poster-sized print, it serves as a reminder not only of Nottingham's rich cultural heritage but also of our own capacity for introspection and exploration within Christianity. Whether one is familiar with Festus or simply appreciates fine artistry, this image offers an invitation to delve deeper into its layers of meaning while enjoying its aesthetic beauty.
