Title A name given to the resource St Peterâ€™s East Window, SCEGGS Great Hall, Darlinghurst, Sydney Subject The topic of the resource Canopy, Christ, Christianity, Darlinghurst, Empire, Ferguson & Urie, geometric patterning, Great Hall, medallion, medieval design, New South Wales, NSW, quarries, SGEGGS, school, school buildings, St Peterâ€™s Church, Stained glass, Sydney, Sydney Girls Grammar School, window Description An account of the resource An image of the East Window in the Great Hall at Sydney Girls Grammar School (SGEGGS) in Darlinghurst, Sydney. The window was originally installed in St Peterâ€™s church in 1867, but the church has since been incorporated into the School Hall. It is the only known Ferguson & Urie window in Sydney. Depictions of Christ and the disciples in lozenge and mandorla medallions stand out amidst a richly patterned geometrical background. This window employs several medieval design and glazing techniques, notably: 12th century lancets, the use of â€˜diaperedâ€™ background quarries, extensive geometric patterning, and painted figures restricted to â€˜mandorlaâ€™ and lozenge-shaped medallions. Note the comparatively larger, central figure of Christ standing under the imitation c. 14th century canopy. While not limited to a medieval primary colour scheme, the overall feeling and tone of this window is decidedly one of an adventurous medievalism. Such a window transmits the essence of the gospel message in visual narrative form, to the effect that the contents of each medallion can quite easily be â€˜readâ€™ by onlookers. The twin themes of Empire and Christianity merge seamlessly within the context of the windowâ€™s Neo-Gothic medievalism.

Title A name given to the resource Morgan Le Fay Subject The topic of the resource Accalan, Accolon, Art, Arthur, Arthurian, Avalon, Ballarat, ChrÃ©tien de Troyes, Christian Waller (1894-1954), Excalibur, healer, healing, keys, king, King Arthur, knight, lance, Le Morte dâ€™Arthur, legend, Morgan Le Fay, power, shield, Thomas Malory, VIC, Victoria watercolour, wounded king Description An account of the resource This watercolour by Australian artist Christian Waller was gifted to the Art Gallery of Ballarat in 1933 by the Women’s Association. It depicts a woman in medieval dress whom the title identifies as Morgan Le Fay. Morgan Le Fay is a sorceress/healer in Arthurian legend. Starting with Chrétien de Troyes in the late twelfth century, she is often named as Arthur’s half-sister (by his mother Igerne). She plays a key adversarial role in much Arthurian literature; she is often depicted trying to expose the adulterous liaisons of Lancelot and Guinevere, and attempting to bring about Arthur’s downfall. She does this by using her magic powers to give Arthur’s sword, Excalibur, to her lover Accolon (while leaving Arthur unknowingly with a counterfeit), and by throwing Excalibur into the lake. At the end of Thomas Malory’s fifteenth-century text Le Morte d’Arthur, however, she resumes her healing role by taking Arthur to Avalon and tending to the wounded king. For a copy of Le Morte d’Arthur, see: <a href="http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/m/malory/thomas/m25m/" target="_blank"> http://ebooks.adelaide.edu.au/m/malory/thomas/m25m/</a>. In the background of Waller’s painting are numerous medieval references: a lance, a heraldic shield, a helmet, a picture of a knight riding a horse, and a set of highly symbolic keys given Morgan Le Fay’s power in Arthurian legend. About Christian Waller: Christian Waller was born Christian Marjory Emily Carlyle Yandell in 1894 in Castlemaine, Victoria. In 1910 she moved to Melbourne with her family. There she attended the National Gallery Schools and won acclaim from a young age, receiving a number of student prizes, exhibiting her work with the Victorian Artists Society and featuring in illustrated publications such as Franklin Petersons Melba’s Gift Book of Australian Art and Literature in 1915. In 1915 she married fellow artist Mervyn Napier Waller. He lost his right arm the following year serving on the Western Front, and Christian supported him upon his return to Australia by working as a commercial artist. During the 1920s she became a book illustrator, and her work from this period has been described as reflecting “Classical, Medieval, Pre-Raphaelite and Art Nouveau influences” (See Thomas, David, 'Waller, Christian Marjory Emily Carlyle (1894–1954)', Australian Dictionary of Biography, National Centre of Biography, Australian National University, <a href="http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/waller-christian-marjory-emily-carlyle-11944/text21407" target="_blank">http://adb.anu.edu.au/biography/waller-christian-marjory-emily-carlyle-11944/text21407</a>, accessed 4 February 2012). From 1928 Waller started designing stained glass windows. This was an artistic medium in which she was prolific, and for which she became well known, during the 1930s and 40s.

Title A name given to the resource Virgin of the Offering Subject The topic of the resource Alsace, bronze, Christ, Christianity, Ã‰mile-Antoine Bourdelle (1861-1929), gothic, infant Jesus, Jesus, Madonna, Mary, model, Niederbruck, religious sculpture, Romanesque, sculpture, SA, South Australia, virgin, virgin and child Description An account of the resource This work by French sculptor Émile-Antoine Bourdelle was gifted to the Art Gallery of South Australia by William Bowmore AO OBE, through the Art Gallery of South Australia Foundation in 1994. It is a 2.5m tall bronze sculpture of the Virgin Mary holding the infant Jesus aloft. Along with similar sculptures held by the National Museum of Western Art in Tokyo and the National Galleries of Scotland (titled La Vierge d’Alsace), this work appears to be a model for Bourdelle’s much larger 6m tall stone carving of the subject, which was completed in 1922 and is situated on a hill in Niederbruck, Alsace, France. Bourdelle studied sculpture at the École des Beaux-Arts in Paris after training as a wood-carver with his father, and entered Rodin’s studio as a practitioner in 1893. He incorporated both subjects and techniques from Ancient Greek and medieval sculpture into his work. In ‘Virgin and the Offering’, his admiration of gothic and medieval religious art is evident in his choice of subject, while his use of simplified forms is reminiscent of earlier Romanesque sculpture. On the Gothic and Romanesque influences of Bourdelle’s work, see the catalogue description of NG Scotland’s La Vierge d’Alsace at: <a href="http://www.nationalgalleries.org/object/GMA%202" target="_blank">http://www.nationalgalleries.org/object/GMA 2</a>.

Fergusson was a Melbourne manufacturing stationer, and was at times a member of the Legislative assembly and Shire President. The window was probably installed shortly after he moved into â€˜Glenferrieâ€™ in 1872 and remained there, long after Fergusson died in 1888, until the house was demolished in 1954. The window comprises three large central lights, the innermost of which contains the Fergusson Coat-of-Arms, and three smaller top lights, each containing specifically Australian motifs (Kangaroo, Colonial Coat-of Arms, and an Emu). The â€˜diaperedâ€™ octagonal background quarries feature a rose, shamrock, and thistle pattern that is stylistically â€˜medieval,â€™ signifying a link to the British Isles. Hand painted scenes in the (lower) main tier of panels depict relevant features of the burgeoning economy, which are related to trade, productivity, and the exploitation of natural resources.

Title A name given to the resource â€˜St Georgeâ€™ Stained Glass Window, Tolarno Hotel, St Kilda Subject The topic of the resource armour, armor, border, dragon, Ferguson & Urie, knight, Melbourne, rose, Saint George, St. George, St George, saint, saints, St. Kilda, St Kilda, stained glass, staircase, Tolarno Hotel, Tudor rose, Union Jack, valour, VIC, Victoria Description An account of the resource This elaborate staircase window in a converted St Kilda mansion is probably by Ferguson & Urie and dated c.1884. The window depicts a red-cloaked and fully armoured St George standing on the head of a dragon. Images of St George and the Dragon were popular in the nineteenth century, with this appeal being especially aided by Sir Walter Scottâ€™s reawakening of popular notions of chivalry in his writings. The outer border contains red and white Tudor roses interspersed with green leaves on a blue ground, while the solid looking pillars hold small medallion-shaped imprints of the Union Jack. Overall, the window represents a calm â€˜manlyâ€™ Victorian assurance in the face of determined opposition. Such a window can be interpreted as â€œan expansive declaration of the values and â€¦ institutions inherited from Britainâ€ (Beverley Sherry, Australiaâ€™s Historic Stained Glass, Sydney, Murray Child, 1991, p.44). Although little information is available regarding the mansionâ€™s original owner, it is thought that the house was built for someone engaged in local politics. Thus, St George killing the dragon makes an ideal theme for a grand staircase window in a house where integrity and propriety must be readily observable.
