EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable detail from the frontal of the Steeple Aston Cope, dating back to the 14th century. The artwork depicts "The martyrdom of a saint" beautifully crafted with silver-gilt thread and colored silks on fawn silk twill by an unknown English School artist. Located in Steeple Aston Church in Oxfordshire, UK, this piece is believed to have been made in London for a bishop during its time. Despite being cut up over the years, this altar frontal still exudes its original grandeur and significance. It forms one long composition that tells a powerful story of sacrifice and devotion. The scene portrays an intense moment as a saint faces their martyrdom, surrounded by elements such as swords, daggers, and ecclesiastical robes. The embroidery technique used here is known as opus anglicanum or "English work". This highly skilled craftsmanship was renowned throughout medieval Europe for its intricate details and vibrant colors. May Woods has captured this extraordinary artwork through her lens while preserving every delicate stitch. As we admire this image from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness the profound religious fervor that inspired countless individuals throughout history. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a testament to the enduring legacy of medieval liturgical artistry.
