Iris, c1860-1893
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Atkinson Grimshaw captures the ethereal beauty of a winged female figure amidst a mystical landscape. With her arms crossed and an air of artistic elegance, she stands as a representation of the British artistic school in the 19th century. The artist's use of oil media brings out the vibrant glow of Iris against the backdrop of a serene lake adorned with lilies and waterlilies. Set within a forest shrouded in midsummer mist, this enchanting scene evokes feelings of magic and wonder. As a mythical creature, Iris embodies both nature and spirit, her wings symbolizing freedom and grace. In this dreamlike composition, she appears naked yet exudes an aura of innocence rather than vulnerability. The Victorian era influences are evident in Grimshaw's attention to detail, particularly in depicting the intricate flowers that surround Iris. This print serves as a testament to his skillful portrayal of landscapes infused with mythological elements. As we gaze upon "Iris" we are transported to another time - the nineteenth century - where artistry flourished alongside fascination for mythical beasts and legendary figures. This artwork invites us to immerse ourselves into its narrative; it is not merely an image but an invitation to explore our own imagination.
