EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from George Bernard Shaw's iconic play, "St Joan" set against the magnificent backdrop of Rheims Cathedral. Created by Charles Ricketts in 1924, this charcoal on paper artwork showcases Ricketts' remarkable talent as both a costume designer and set creator for the play's premiere at the New Theatre in London. The image transports us to medieval France, where the dramatic narrative of Joan of Arc unfolds within the grandeur of Rheims Cathedral. The intricate details of the cathedral's interior are beautifully rendered, evoking a sense of awe and reverence. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost hear echoes of Shaw's powerful dialogue reverberating through its hallowed halls. Ricketts' skillful use of charcoal brings depth and texture to his portrayal of characters engaged in intense theatrical performance. Their expressions convey their passion and determination as they bring Shaw's words to life on stage. This print serves as a testament not only to Ricketts' artistic prowess but also to Shaw's enduring legacy as one of history's greatest playwrights. As we admire this piece from our private collection, let us be reminded that art has the power to transport us across time and space, allowing us glimpses into worlds both real and imagined.
