EDITORS COMMENTS
In this oil painting by Charles Haslewood Shannon, titled "Tibullus in the House of Delia" we are transported to a scene filled with mythological allure and desire. The young suitor Tibullus stands elegantly dressed in a blue bow blouse, his gaze fixed upon the object of his affection. Delia, a beautiful woman draped in lace, exudes an air of mystery as she leans against a table adorned with wine. The artist skillfully captures the essence of love and longing through delicate brushstrokes and rich colors. The figures seem to come alive within the canvas, their emotions palpable to anyone who gazes upon them. It is as if time has stood still for this moment - one that holds both tension and anticipation. Shrouded in mythology and history, "Tibullus in the House of Delia" transports us back to an era where romance was steeped in tradition and courtship held great significance. Through this painting, Shannon invites us into a world where passion intertwines with religion and social customs. As we admire this 20th-century masterpiece, we cannot help but be drawn into its narrative - imagining ourselves as witnesses to Tibullus' pursuit of love or perhaps even fanciers of Delia's beauty ourselves. This print serves as a timeless reminder that art has the power to transcend time and connect us deeply with our own desires and emotions.
