EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Illustration to Comus, 1811" transports viewers into a world of enchantment and literary beauty. Created by the talented artist Samuel John Stump, this pen and ink drawing with wash on paper captures the essence of John Milton's renowned poem, Comus. The scene unfolds along a picturesque riverbank, where figures are delicately sketched amidst a stunning landscape. The artist's skillful use of monochrome sepia tones adds an air of romance and nostalgia to the composition. A solitary tree stands tall in the background, its branches reaching towards the heavens as if whispering secrets from another realm. As we delve deeper into this neoclassical masterpiece, we encounter a seated figure at the center - perhaps representing chastity or virtue - surrounded by elements that evoke both classical and maritime themes. The coastline stretches out in the distance, merging seamlessly with the tranquil sea. Stump's illustration beautifully captures Milton's poetic imagery while adding his own touch of artistic interpretation. This print serves as a visual homage to one of literature's greatest works and invites us to explore its depths through our own imagination. Displayed at Newcastle-upon-Tyne's Laing Art Gallery, this piece is part of eTyne & Wear Archives & Museums' collection. It reminds us how art can transcend time and transport us into worlds created solely by words on a page.
