EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the enchanting world of "Comus, a masque in honor of chastity". Illustrated by Arthur Rackham in 1900, this image beautifully captures the essence of John Milton's renowned work. The masque was first presented on Michaelmas in 1634 and remains an enduring symbol of purity and virtue. In this illustration, Rackham skillfully brings to life the characters and themes that define Milton's masterpiece. Vibrant colors dance across the page, illuminating the scene with an ethereal glow. The central figure, Comus himself, exudes both allure and danger as he attempts to seduce Lady Chastity. The attention to detail is remarkable; every brushstroke seems purposeful and deliberate. From the intricate costumes adorning each character to their expressive faces filled with emotion, Rackham's artistry draws us deeper into this mythical realm. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of Milton's profound impact on English literature. His words continue to resonate centuries later, inspiring countless readers with his exploration of morality and virtue. This print serves as a testament not only to Rackham's talent but also to the enduring power of great works of art. It invites us into a world where honor meets temptation—a world where chastity triumphs over vice—and encourages us to reflect upon our own values and choices.
