EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the St Georges Portico, a stunning architectural masterpiece dating back to 1610. Created by Inigo Jones, a renowned English architect of the time, this pen and ink drawing is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. Originally designed as a stage set for scene II of Ben Jonson's play "The Speeches at Prince Henrys Barriers" also known as "The Lady of the Lake" this elaborate structure holds great historical significance. Its revival style reflects elements from medieval and Gothic architecture, transporting viewers into an enchanting world of chivalry and Arthurian legend. Despite its temporary nature in the theatrical realm, this facade exudes grandeur with its intricate details and false perspective. The crumbling ruins add an allegorical touch to the scenery, symbolizing both celebration and decay. This masquerade-like setting serves as a backdrop for ceremonies and parties during that era. With its classical influences and Renaissance flair, this Jacobean-era artwork captivates audiences even today. It stands as a testament to Inigo Jones' genius in creating visually striking designs that transport viewers into another time. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this print allows us to appreciate the beauty of ancient architecture intertwined with theatrical entertainment.
