EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a pen and ink drawing of Merlin, created by the talented Inigo Jones in 1610. The artwork is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth and depicts a costume design from "The Speeches at Prince Henry's Barriers" by Ben Jonson, also known as "The Lady of the Lake". In this image, we see Merlin portrayed as an elderly courtier with an air of wisdom and mystery surrounding him. Dressed in elaborate medieval attire, he embodies the essence of Arthurian legend and brings to life the enchanting world of King Arthur's court. Jones' intricate detailing captures every aspect of this legendary character, from his flowing robes to his wise gaze. This theatrical representation transports us back to a time when pageants and masquerades were popular forms of entertainment during the Jacobean era. Merlin's presence on stage would have undoubtedly mesmerized audiences with his magical abilities and mythical aura. As a magus and sage, he exudes power while maintaining an elegant fashion sense that reflects Renaissance style. This remarkable piece not only celebrates the artistry behind Jones' work but also serves as a testament to the enduring fascination with Arthurian legends throughout history. It invites us into a world where wizards roam freely among courtiers, blurring the lines between reality and mythological tales.
