EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print titled "Atlas: back shutter or scene of relieve" by Inigo Jones takes us on a journey into the world of theatrical grandeur. The image, part of the Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth, showcases what is believed to be a stage design for Ben Jonson's renowned play, Hymenaei. In this elaborate depiction, we are transported to a celebration filled with mythological symbolism and architectural marvels. Towering golden figures of Atlas and Hercules support the weighty backdrop as if carrying the entire world upon their shoulders. Stuart heroes kneel before them in reverence while a regal globe hovers above. The intricate details and meticulous craftsmanship bring forth an atmosphere of opulence and splendor. This drawing captures the essence of Renaissance and Jacobean aesthetics with its ornate set design and ceremonial undertones. As we delve deeper into this mesmerizing artwork, we can almost hear the echoes of laughter from masquerade parties long gone by. It serves as a reminder that theatre has always been an enchanting form of entertainment that transcends time. Bridgeman Images has graciously reproduced this piece from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees' permission, allowing us to appreciate its beauty even today. Let this print transport you to an era where imagination knew no bounds, where temporary stages became portals to mythical realms, and where art truly came alive on stage.
