EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning stage design from the 17th century. Created by Inigo Jones, a renowned English architect, this pen and ink drawing titled "Proscenium and standing scene" transports us back to the theatrical world of the past. The intricate details of this stage set for the play Florimene (1635) are truly mesmerizing. The false perspective adds depth to the wooded backdrop, creating an illusion of vastness within a limited space. The rustic cottages and huts nestled among the trees evoke a sense of tranquility in this rural landscape. Jones' mastery is evident in his ability to blend classical elements with pastoral charm. The elaborate architecture seamlessly integrates with nature, forming an idyllic Arcadian setting that captivates both actors and audience alike. As we gaze upon this print, we can almost imagine ourselves transported into this temporary world of celebration and entertainment. It serves as a reminder of how theater has always been an escape from reality, allowing us to immerse ourselves in different worlds for brief moments in time. Reproduced by permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this historic artwork offers us a glimpse into the rich heritage of stage design during the Renaissance era. Its timeless beauty continues to inspire artists today while reminding us of our shared love for storytelling through visual arts.
