EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph print, titled "Sainte Rose de Lima" created by the talented Aubrey Beardsley in 1894, is a mesmerizing blend of contrasting elements. Beardsley's unique style, influenced by Japanese woodcuts, beautifully captures the essence of Saint Rose of Lima's life and legacy. Saint Rose of Lima was a remarkable Spanish colonist who dedicated her life to extreme asceticism and caring for the needy in Lima, Peru. This print pays homage to her selfless acts through its striking imagery. The artist's bold use of black ink creates a stark contrast against the white background, emphasizing both the grotesque and erotic aspects that defined his artistic approach. The monochromatic aesthetic movement prevalent in this artwork adds depth and intensity to Saint Rose's story. Dressed in traditional robes associated with her Dominican Order membership, she is depicted embracing another figure passionately—a symbolic representation of her mission as well as an expression of love and compassion. Beardsley masterfully captures the tension between light and dark within this piece. The intricate details highlight his skillful engraving technique while also evoking emotions from viewers. Through this lithograph print, we are transported back to 19th-century South America where colonization was prominent but also witness an intimate moment filled with tenderness. "Sainte Rose de Lima" serves as a powerful reminder not only of Beardsley's talent but also of Saint Rose's enduring impact on society. Her canonization by the Catholic Church further solidifies her significance as one of the first individuals born in the Americas to receive such recognition. This extraordinary work from Bridgeman Images invites us into a world where art meets history—where beauty intertwines with devotion—and leaves us captivated by its timeless allure.
