EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite design of "Una and the Lion" taken from an engraving created in 1783 by Thomas Burke. The original artwork was based on a painting by Angelica Kauffman, one of the most renowned female artists of her time. This particular image is one of three decorative medallions that adorned a George III commode dating back to around 1790. The enchanting scene depicted in this print captures Una, symbolizing virginity, truth, and innocence, alongside a majestic lion. Inspired by Edmund Spenser's epic poem "The Faerie Queene" this composition beautifully portrays the courage and purity embodied by Una as she fearlessly interacts with the powerful yet gentle lion. The level of detail captured in this photograph allows viewers to appreciate both the technical skill involved in creating such intricate engravings and the artistic vision behind them. The delicate lines and subtle shading bring life to each element within the composition. Displayed against a dark background, this print truly highlights every nuance of Burke's engraving while preserving its historical significance. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply drawn to timeless beauty, this piece offers a glimpse into English art history that will captivate your imagination for years to come.
