EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Everett Millais' exquisite artwork titled "Mariana (pen & black ink)". Measuring 9.6x7.9 cm, this piece is housed in the prestigious Ashmolean Museum at the University of Oxford, UK. Millais drew inspiration from Alfred, Lord Tennyson's poem "Mariana" which was itself influenced by Shakespeare's character Mariana in Measure for Measure. The subject of this drawing is a woman named Mariana who embodies an array of emotions within her delicate features. The image portrays a sense of deep sadness and rejection as Mariana appears isolated and abandoned in her surroundings. Her tearful eyes and sorrowful expression evoke feelings of immense despair that resonate with viewers on a profound level. As she sobs uncontrollably, it becomes evident that she has been rejected or betrayed, leading to her overwhelming sense of isolation and emotional turmoil. The artist masterfully captures these complex emotions through his intricate pen strokes. Intriguingly melancholic yet undeniably beautiful, this artwork delves into themes such as female vulnerability, heartache, and even hints at the darker notion of suicidal thoughts – all prevalent elements found within Western art. Bridgeman Images presents this remarkable print without any commercial intentions but rather aims to appreciate the artistic brilliance behind Millais' portrayal of human emotion through his exceptional talent with pen and ink.
