EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enigmatic Elizabeth Chudleigh, a woman of scandalous allure and audacity. Dressed in the character of Iphigenia, she exudes an unconventional charm that both mesmerizes and shocks. Taken at the Venetian Ambassadors masquerade ball in 18th century England, this engraving captures a moment when Chudleigh appeared so daringly naked that one could mistake her for Andromeda herself. Her choice to embody Iphigenia, a tragic figure from Greek mythology, adds an intriguing layer to her persona. Elizabeth Chudleigh was not only known for her shocking costumes but also for her tumultuous personal life. As a bigamist and member of the aristocracy, she defied societal norms with fearless abandon. The infamous bigamy trial in 1776 further cemented her reputation as both a society beauty and an unapologetic rebel. In this portrait, we witness Chudleigh's unabashed display of nudity which challenges traditional notions of modesty within high society circles. With confidence radiating from every inch of her being, she stands as a symbol of female empowerment amidst a world dominated by men. This print serves as a testament to Elizabeth Chudleigh's indomitable spirit and unwavering determination to live life on her own terms. It invites us into the complex world of aristocratic intrigue while simultaneously celebrating individuality and self-expression beyond societal constraints.
