EDITORS COMMENTS
Ave Atque Vale," a poignant and haunting illustration by the renowned English artist Aubrey Beardsley, depicts the poignant farewell between the Roman poet Catullus and his beloved, as expressed in Carmen CI. Created in 1896, during the vibrant and innovative 1890s art scene, this print showcases Beardsley's distinctive and intricate Art Nouveau style. The image captures the moment of parting between the poet and his mistress, with their hands reaching out to touch each other through the bars of a cage, symbolizing the constraints of their forbidden love. The intense emotional connection between them is palpable, as they exchange their final words, "Ave Atque Vale" - Hail and Farewell. The use of chiaroscuro, or strong contrasts between light and dark, adds depth and drama to the scene, while the intricate detailing and delicate lines reflect Beardsley's mastery of the medium. This illustration is a testament to Beardsley's artistic talent and his ability to bring the powerful emotions of Catullus' poetry to life. The image is a poignant reminder of the fleeting nature of love and the bittersweet beauty of farewells. With its intricate detailing and evocative imagery, this print continues to captivate and inspire viewers over a century after its creation. The use of black ink on white paper adds to the timeless quality of the artwork, making it a beautiful and thought-provoking addition to any collection of fine art or literature. Whether displayed in a gallery, a home, or a library, this print is sure to evoke a sense of wonder and appreciation for the artistry and emotion it conveys.
