EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print titled "Messalina" by Aubrey Beardsley offers a glimpse into the fascinating world of women in caricature during the 19th century. The artwork, part of a private collection, was originally featured in Eduard Fuchs' book "Die Frau in der Karikatur" (Women in Caricature) published in Munich, 1907. The image depicts Messalina, an infamous Roman empress known for her scandalous behavior and insatiable desires. Beardsley's artistry skillfully captures her allure and seductive nature through intricate details and exaggerated features. The Art Nouveau style adds to the overall aesthetic appeal of this historical piece. In this particular portrayal, Messalina is shown partially naked with strategically placed fig leaves covering certain areas. This clever use of symbolism reflects both Victorian sensibilities and artistic conventions prevalent at that time. Beardsley's work exemplifies the Secession Jugendstil movement popular across Europe during the late 19th century. His unique approach to engraving creates a visually striking composition that showcases his mastery as an artist. This print serves as a reminder of Britain's rich artistic heritage and its contribution to European art movements. It invites viewers to delve into history while appreciating the beauty and complexity found within works of art like "Messalina. "
