EDITORS COMMENTS
The lithograph titled "Lysistrate protects her sex" by Aubrey Beardsley captures a powerful moment from Aristophanes' comedy "Lysistrata". In this artwork, women are depicted as the driving force behind ending a war by refusing their husbands. The image showcases the determination and unity of these women who have taken it upon themselves to protect their sex. Measuring 32x25 cm, this piece is an example of art nouveau, secession jugendstyl, an art movement that emerged in the late 19th century. Beardsley's intricate engraving skillfully portrays the dominant role played by women in challenging societal norms. The composition highlights themes of chastity and domination, with Lysistrate symbolizing female empowerment and resistance against male dominance. Through his detailed depiction of nudity, Beardsley emphasizes the vulnerability and strength inherent in nakedness. As a British artist, Beardsley's work reflects his country's cultural landscape during the late 19th century. This lithograph serves as a reminder of Great Britain's historical significance within Europe. Bridgeman Images has preserved this significant piece from history through its Fine Art Finder collection. It allows viewers to appreciate Beardsley's artistic style while also providing insight into ancient Greek society and its influence on Western culture. This print invites contemplation on gender dynamics, power struggles, and social change throughout history.
