EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an oil illustration by Alice Barber Stephens, created in 1900 for Nathaniel Hawthorne's renowned novel, "The Marble Faun". The image transports us back to the mid-19th century, capturing the essence of Victorian fashion and style. In this evocative scene, we encounter a man and woman who embody the characters from Hawthorne's literary masterpiece. The well-remembered features of these individuals are beautifully depicted through Stephens' skilled brushstrokes. The man dons a cloak that exudes an air of mystery and intrigue, while the woman stands beside him with an aura of grace and elegance. The setting appears to be a sculpture garden or perhaps even Rome itself, as suggested by the title of Hawthorne's novel. This choice is fitting since "The Marble Faun" explores themes of art, morality, and identity against the backdrop of Italy's rich cultural heritage. Stephens' illustration not only captures the physical attributes but also conveys the complex emotions experienced by these characters throughout their journey. It serves as a visual representation that complements Hawthorne's masterful storytelling. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are transported into another world - one filled with timeless beauty and thought-provoking narratives. It reminds us why both literature enthusiasts and art lovers continue to cherish Nathaniel Hawthorne's "The Marble Faun" over a century after its original publication in 1860.
