EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Masquer, c. 1638" takes us back in time to the courtly world of the Stuart era. Created by the renowned architect Inigo Jones, this pen and ink drawing is a design for Luminalia, a grand masque production from 1638. The intricate details of this artwork transport us to an exotic and ornate setting. The female character depicted here is dressed in an elaborate gown that epitomizes baroque fashion with its opulence and extravagance. Every line drawn by Jones showcases his mastery in capturing the essence of theatricality. As we delve into this image, we can almost hear the melodies of opera echoing through the halls of Chatsworth House where it resides today as part of The Devonshire Collections. This piece not only represents a moment in history but also serves as a testament to the creativity and imagination that thrived during this Renaissance period. With its rich symbolism and meticulous craftsmanship, "Masquer" invites us to step into another world - one filled with pageantry, entertainment, and enchantment. It reminds us that art has always been a means to transcend reality and immerse ourselves in fantastical realms. Reproduced with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this print allows us to appreciate Inigo Jones' exceptional talent while celebrating the beauty found within historical costume design.
