EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print of "Iris appearing before Turnus" transports us to a scene filled with rich colors and intricate details. Created by an anonymous English artist in the 19th century, this watercolor on vellum painting measures 33.5x24 cm and is part of a private collection. The image depicts a fictional moment from early 20th-century literature, where Iris, a female character, appears before Turnus, a man clad in armor. The relationship between these two figures is beautifully portrayed against an outdoor backdrop during daytime. The artist skillfully captures the essence of courtship and wooing as Turnus kneels before Iris with his arms outstretched. This unfinished artwork showcases the meticulous attention to detail that defines English art from this era. The clothing worn by both characters reflects Victorian fashion trends while adding depth to their personalities. An inset drawing adds further intrigue to the composition. With its pre-Raphaelite influences and European artistic style, this piece evokes late 19th-century aesthetics through its use of watercolors on vellum. Latin text adorns the leaf-like border surrounding the central scene, hinting at poetry or literature associated with this romantic encounter. Overall, this enchanting print invites viewers into a world where fiction meets reality – where love and desire intertwine within the pages of a book and come alive through artistry.
