EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Hilarius found his mistress, her hands idle on her knee" we are transported to a bygone era filled with intrigue and mystery. Created by the talented artist Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, this color litho captures a moment of quiet contemplation amidst the chaos of the Black Death. Set in a medieval castle chamber adorned with intricate tapestries and needlework, we find Hilarius discovering his mistress. The scene is steeped in historical significance as it depicts an era when the plague ravaged Europe. The costumes worn by the characters reflect their status within society, adding depth to their identities. The image exudes an air of boredom and restlessness that permeates through Hilarius' mistress as she sits idly with her hands resting on her knee. It hints at a longing for something more than what her confined existence within these castle walls can offer. Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail brings every element of this composition to life - from the monks dwelling nearby to the monastic dress they wear. This evocative artwork draws inspiration from Michael Fairless' novel "The Gathering of Brother Hilarius" published by Duckworth & Co. , London. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported back in time, immersing ourselves in a world where castles served not only as housing but also as symbols of power and protection against external threats like the devastating Black Death pandemic that plagued humanity centuries ago.
