In Chaplain's Quad: Christ and Mary Magdalen by David Wynne Presented by Mr. M.V.B. Hill in memory of his brother J.S.B. Hill (Commoner of the College 1904-07, died September 1962)

Looking upwards. Magdalen's Great Tower rises high into a blue sky, framed dramatically from a low angle by the reaching, green bronze limbs of David Wynne's Christ and Mary Magdalen sculpture.

Close-up shot. The expressive bronze face of Christ is captured in sharp detail, viewed through the green patinated arms of Mary Magdalen.

A framed view. The quiet courtyard of Chaplain's Quad is viewed through a black window grid, showing David Wynne's bronze sculpture standing amongst lush green shrubs and purple flowers in front of a stone archway.

David Wynne's bronze sculpture, Christ and Mary Magdalen. The two slender, green-patinated figures stand on a stone plinth in Chaplain's Quad, gesturing expressively against a warm, sunlit stone wall.

Viewed through a dark, leaded mullioned window, the St George’s Cross flag flies from a Tower in Magdalen College, Oxford. The iconic stone battlements of the tower and a decorative weather vane are framed by the dark window grid against a bright blue sky.

It's wisteria season!

White and green wistria - just in bloom - against the yellow stone wall of Longwall Quad

White wisteria blossoms hang in the foreground, framing a view of a sunlit Longwall Quad at Magdalen College Oxford. In the background, the Gothic-style Longwall Library at Magdalen College stands under a bright blue sky with wispy clouds. A manicured green lawn, a stone path, and low green hedges lead toward the historic honey-colored stone building.

What a beautiful morning!

A vibrant spring scene at Magdalen College featuring a dense carpet of blue, purple, and white crocuses interspersed with bright yellow daffodils.

In the foreground, a large, weathered tree stands to the left.

The background shows the historic stone facade of the college and the iconic Magdalen Tower under a soft, clear sky.

Warm, low-angle sunlight catches the flowers and the golden Cotswold stone of the buildings.
