EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "GHOST, 1628" takes us back to the intriguing world of the 17th century. In this woodcut, we witness an eerie and enigmatic scene unfold before our eyes. An armor-clad apparition stands tall in a dimly lit bedchamber, shrouded in mysticism and occult symbolism. Legend has it that this ghostly figure is none other than the father of George Villiers, the renowned 1st Duke of Buckingham. The spectral appearances of this phantom were said to have foretold the impending death of the Duke himself. It is within these very walls that servants would tremble at sightings and whispers from beyond. The room itself exudes an air of early English grandeur with its opulent canopy bed draped in luxurious blankets and adorned with a chandelier casting flickering shadows on ancient tapestries. A single candle illuminates the space, adding to its haunting ambiance. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured by The Granger Collection, New York, we are transported into a realm where reality intertwines with superstition and belief in unseen forces. This evocative woodcut invites us to ponder upon questions surrounding life's mysteries and what lies beyond our mortal existence. It serves as a reminder that even within the confines of power and privilege, no one is exempt from encountering supernatural phenomena or facing their own mortality.
