EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting from circa 1916, depicting a scene of intimacy and passion between the poet Tibullus and his beloved Delia. The painting showcases a group of figures seated at a table, their faces illuminated by the warm glow of flickering candles. At the center of the composition, Delia, with her rich brown hair cascading over her shoulders, tenderly touches a pendant that hangs around her neck. Her suitor, Tibullus, sits to her right, his hand gently caressing her shoulder as he gazes deeply into her eyes. The vibrant colors of the painting transport us back in time to an era of romance and poetry. Delia's red dress contrasts beautifully with the muted tones of the table and the dark background, drawing our attention to the central figures. The clashing goblets on the table, filled with red wine, symbolize the passionate connection between the two lovers. This painting is believed to be inspired by the ancient Roman poet Tibullus, who wrote a series of love poems dedicated to Delia. The work is thought to be a representation of one of the scenes described in the poetry. The painting was published in the October volume of Charles Haslewood Shannon's "March of the Women" collection in a magazine, showcasing the artwork to a wider audience. The painting's timeless beauty continues to captivate viewers, transporting us into the world of ancient Rome and the passionate love story of Tibullus and Delia.
