EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "As it was better youth" is an exquisite illustration from Rabbi Ben Ezra by Robert Browning. Created as a colour litho by the talented artist Bernard John Partridge, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of the poem about Abraham ibn Ezra, a renowned poet, mathematician, and scholar of the 12th Century. In this intriguing scene, we find ourselves in an interior setting where our protagonist sits contemplatively. The elderly figure exudes wisdom and experience as he engages with his surroundings. His gaze is fixed on a chalice held delicately in his hands, perhaps symbolizing his deep thoughts and reflections. Beside him stands a temptress-like sorceress who adds an air of mystery to the composition. Her presence suggests that there may be more than meets the eye in this narrative; she could represent both danger and intrigue for our philosopher. The atmosphere is filled with tension and anticipation as we witness these two contrasting characters sharing space. The old man's anxious expression hints at inner turmoil or impending challenges he may face on his journey. Overall, this thought-provoking image invites viewers to delve into the world of poetry through visual storytelling. It serves as a testament to Browning's ability to intertwine various themes such as age, wisdom, temptation, and introspection within his work.
