EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning piece of beaten metal artwork titled "Love If Thy Tresses Be So Dark How Dark Those Hidden Eyes Must Be". Created by the talented Scottish artist Frances Macdonald in 1896, this decorative art frame is a true representation of the Art Nouveau movement that swept through Europe during the late 19th century. Measuring at an impressive overall size of 407 mm x 673 mm x 23 mm, this beaten metal picture frame was specifically designed for another masterpiece called "The Sleeping Princess" (PR. 1977.13. u). The frame itself features intricate detailing and is inscribed with the poetic words, "Love if thy tresses be so dark how dark those hidden eyes must be" adding an air of mystery and romance to its already enchanting presence. In this photograph, we see a fantasy-inspired woman reclining gracefully within the frame. Her purple dress adds a regal touch to her appearance while she peacefully sleeps, embodying royalty and elegance. The use of color and texture in both the artwork and photograph creates a mesmerizing visual experience that transports viewers back to the artistic wonders of the late 19th century. This print serves as a testament to Macdonald's exceptional talent as well as her contribution to decorative arts during her time. It stands proudly among Glasgow Museums' extensive collection, reminding us all of the beauty that can be found within artistic expression throughout history.
