EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a chapter heading illustration created by the renowned artist Aubrey Beardsley in 1893. The artwork, titled "Chapter heading for Le Morte d Arthur" measures 5.7x5.1 cm and is executed using pen and black ink on paper. In this intricate design, Beardsley masterfully captures the essence of fin de siècle art nouveau with his unique interpretation of angels. The winged figures are depicted in various states of undress, their nudity symbolizing purity and vulnerability while also evoking a sense of ethereal beauty. The composition exudes an air of mystique as these celestial beings engage in conversation or perhaps share secrets known only to them. Their delicate wings gracefully extend behind them, adding an element of elegance to the overall aesthetic. Beardsley's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, creating a visually stunning piece that seamlessly blends elements of fantasy with exquisite craftsmanship. This artwork was originally intended as a chapter heading for Volume I Book IV Chapter XXV of Le Morte d Arthur. Now part of a private collection, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its timeless allure and serves as a testament to Beardsley's immense talent as an artist during the late 19th century.
