EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink preliminary sketch by Inigo Jones transports us back to a time of ancient legends and courtly grandeur. Entitled "Albanactus" the print showcases the talent and imagination of this renowned English artist. In the image, we see a regal figure standing with his hand on his hip, exuding power and authority. This is none other than Albanactus, the founding king of Albany, depicted in all his majestic glory. The intricate details of his armor and elaborate costume highlight the opulence associated with royalty during this era. Jones's skillful rendering captures not only Albanactus's physical appearance but also hints at his role as a theatrical character. The drawing evokes images of masques and pageants that were popular forms of entertainment in Jacobean England. The composition exudes an air of exoticism, blending elements from classical antiquity with Scottish dress. It serves as a testament to Britain's rich cultural heritage while showcasing Jones's ability to create visually stunning works that transcend time. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of the enduring allure of Renaissance artistry and its ability to transport us into fantastical realms where history intertwines with myth. This print from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Inigo Jones's contribution to British art while offering a glimpse into an enchanting world filled with legendary monarchs and extravagant costumes.
