EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing "Design for an elephant pageant" by the renowned artist Inigo Jones. Created with pen and ink on paper, this exquisite artwork is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth House. Transporting us back to the Renaissance era, the image depicts a grand procession featuring a majestic steed pulling an ornate chariot. Adorned in royal caparison, the horse exudes elegance and grace as it leads the way through a fantastical scene. The chariot itself is a marvel of craftsmanship, boasting intricate details and elaborate decorations that speak to its regal purpose. The theatrical nature of this design becomes apparent as we notice various elements such as herms and masquerade masks adorning both the carriage and surrounding area. This suggests that this spectacle was intended for entertainment purposes, possibly during a ceremonial event or extravagant party. What truly steals our attention is the presence of an exotic wild animal – an elephant – positioned atop an intricately designed howdah. This unexpected addition adds an element of wonder and awe to the composition, further emphasizing its fantastical nature. Inigo Jones masterfully captures the essence of Jacobean extravagance in this drawing, showcasing his talent for creating visually stunning works that transport viewers into another world. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded of art's ability to evoke emotions and ignite our imagination across centuries.
