| Blythweb Wenhaston 'Doom' painting feature | | Item Posted on 06/03/2007 |  Wenhaston Doom Photo by Tim Heaps | | Blythweb's office is just along the road from St.Peter's Church in Wenhaston, near Halesworth. The 'Doom' or 'Day of Judgement' painting in St.Peter's is a medieval art treasure right on our doorstep. We have long planned to feature the 'Doom' on our website for Wenhaston, www.wenhaston.net , and we are pleased to announce that this has now been done.
Becky, of Blythweb, recalls how very frightening were the various Devils to her when, as a child, she viewed the painting. The Devils, in particular, are painted with imagination and perhaps a desire to shock, qualities which are evident today - five hundred years after the brush was first loaded with paint.
Take a look at the Wenhaston 'Doom' for yourself and read the remarkable story of how this painting was hidden from view for generations - its eventual discovery courtesy of the English rain. You can zoom in on several areas of the painting for a closer look, with descriptive commentary. | | For more information visit: www.wenhaston.net/doom/index.php | | or contact: eileen@blythweb.net | |
