Chapel Windows:
"The Seven Ages of Man" by Hugh Easton
 |
|
Hugh Easton's interpretation of Shakespeare's lines follow the pattern of the original, with the substitution of a cariacature of a schoolmaster for the sixth age: "the lean and slipper'd pantaloon."
The depiction of man's growth to maturity and decline into senility shown by the central figures themselves is complemented by the springing, blooming and eventual decay of the plants in the foreground, and by the changing colours in the background.
Hidden in the smaller details are more discrete images such as the caterpillar, the chrysalis and the butterfly sequentially found in the windows of the Schoolboy, Lover and Soldier, or the corrected geometry prep found at the cusp of the Schoolmaster window.
