EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print, Aubrey Beardsley takes us back to the enchanting Christmas of 1895. The large Christmas card depicts a serene scene of the Virgin Mary cradling the infant Christ, both adorned in Victorian attire. The attention to detail is exquisite, as Beardsley's graphic design skills bring every element to life. The Virgin Mary stands gracefully, her floral-patterned cloak cascading down her shoulders. She gazes lovingly at baby Jesus, who wears a cozy nightshirt that reflects the fashion of the era. Surrounding them are delicate irises and other flowers, adding a touch of nature's beauty to this religious tableau. Beardsley's artistic style embodies the decadent movement prevalent during his time. His intricate illustrations often pushed societal boundaries while maintaining an undeniable allure. This particular artwork was published in "The Savoy No. I" showcasing Beardsley's talent for combining literature and visual art seamlessly. As we admire this remarkable piece from "The Best of Beardsley" collection edited by R. A Walker, we can't help but be transported back in time to witness the timeless story of Madonna and Child unfold before our eyes. It serves as a poignant reminder of the significance of Christmas and its enduring impact on art throughout history.
