Et in Arcadia Ego
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print created by the talented artist Aubrey Beardsley in 1896. This artwork, featured in The Savoy No. 8 magazine, showcases Beardsley's admiration for the works of Claude Gellée, also known as Claude Lorrain. The title itself holds a mysterious allure, with some suggesting it may be a reference to one of Claude's paintings or even a clever play on the address of Beardsley's publisher Leonard Smithers in Royal Arcade, London. Regardless of its origins, "Et in Arcadia Ego" transports viewers into an enchanting world filled with decadent beauty and artistic sophistication. Beardsley's graphic design skills are evident through his intricate illustrations and attention to detail. In this particular piece, he depicts a serene garden scene adorned with classical elements such as urns and monuments. A solitary male figure stands amidst the pastoral setting, adding an air of contemplation and introspection to the composition. This print not only exemplifies Beardsley's mastery over line work but also captures the essence of Art Nouveau aesthetics prevalent during that era. It beautifully combines elements from literature and visual arts to create a satirical yet thought-provoking image that challenges societal norms. Today, "Et in Arcadia Ego" remains an iconic representation of Beardsley's unique style and contribution to British art history. Its inclusion in "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A Walker further solidifies its significance within the art world.
