Tempus Fugit
EDITORS COMMENTS
- a poignant and thought-provoking illustration from the series "Shadow and Substance" by the renowned English artist, Charles H. Bennett. This print depicts an hourglass with its shadow cast upon the wall, a haunting reminder of the inexorable passage of time. The Latin phrase "Tempus Fugit," which translates to "time flies," adds a layer of depth to the image, emphasizing the fleeting nature of existence. Charles H. Bennett was a prolific illustrator and painter, whose work graced the pages of numerous publications during the mid-19th century. This particular illustration is a testament to his skill in capturing the essence of his subjects through the use of shadows. The series "Shadow and Substance," of which this is a part, features a collection of shadow portraits of fictional characters, each one revealing a unique and intriguing narrative. The intricate details of the hourglass, from the delicate sand cascading through the narrow neck to the ornate glass and metal design, are expertly rendered in the illustration. The contrast between the solid, three-dimensional form of the hourglass and the two-dimensional shadow it casts creates a striking visual effect, highlighting the duality of substance and shadow. This historical print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a poignant reminder of the transient nature of life. The passage of time, represented by the relentless flow of sand in the hourglass, is a theme that resonates with people across cultures and generations. The image of the shadow, fleeting and ephemeral, serves as a poignant reminder to cherish each moment and live life to the fullest.
