About this piece
back to topA small early 20th century stained glass window depicting Diana the Huntress, attributed to English stained glass artist, Edward Woore (1880-1960).
After obtaining a scholarship at London’s Central School of Arts and Crafts, Woore was tutored by Christpher Whall; one of the most prominent artists of the Arts and Crafts movement. Following the First World War, Edward Woore founded his own studio and workshop, later reconnecting with Christopher Whall for future stained glass projects.
This panel, attributed to Woore, is an early 20th century interpretation of the Roman story of Diana, goddess of the hunt. It showcases the goddess, dressed in pink, on a throne carried on the back of a great tiger. According to Roman mythology, Diana was protector of the forest and woodlands. It was believed that she was able to communicate with and control animals.
This mythological inspired window will make quite the talking point in any setting with its unusual subject and artist attribution.
