EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Apollo" transports us back to the enchanting world of 17th-century theatre. Created by Inigo Jones, a renowned English architect and designer, this pen and ink drawing is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. The image depicts Apollo, the Greek god of music, poetry, and light, in all his majestic glory. Floating amidst billowing clouds with an air of courtly elegance, Apollo exudes a sense of otherworldly power. His regal presence is enhanced by the intricate details of his classical costume and elaborate throne. This artwork was originally designed for Ben Jonson's play "The Masque of Augurs" in 1622. It showcases the theatrical spectacle that characterized Jacobean entertainment with its special effects and surreal characters. As a deus ex machina figure descending from above to influence the plot, Apollo adds an element of grandeur to the performance. Jones' skillful use of pen strokes brings out every nuance in this stunning portrayal. The contrast between light and shadow creates a dramatic effect that captures our imagination. This print serves as a testament to both Jones' artistic talent and his contribution to Renaissance theater. Whether you are an art enthusiast or simply appreciate historical imagery, this print offers a glimpse into an era where mythological gods came alive on stage through elaborate costumes and mesmerizing performances.
