EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases John Graham Lough's masterpiece, "Comus" from 1856. The artist brilliantly captures the essence of this allegorical story through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of color. The image depicts a virtuous lady who finds herself lost in the enchanting woods, separated from her two brothers. As she wanders, she stumbles upon Comus, an evil sorcerer and son of Bacchus and Circe. With his magical powers, Comus ensnares the lady within his palace walls. In this thought-provoking scene, we witness a powerful debate between the lady and Comus. She staunchly rejects his hedonistic philosophy while passionately defending temperance and chastity. Lough's sculpture brings these opposing ideologies to life with remarkable precision. The composition is further enhanced by the classical robes adorning both characters, symbolizing their contrasting beliefs and values. Lough's mastery in sculpting marble is evident as he expertly crafts every intricate detail on their garments. This mesmerizing artwork transports us back to the 19th century when allegory was highly regarded in art circles. It serves as a testament to Lough's artistic prowess and ability to convey complex narratives through sculpture. Displayed at Guildhall Library Art Gallery, this photograph print allows us to appreciate Lough's genius even today. It invites viewers into a world where magic intertwines with morality, leaving us captivated by its timeless beauty.
