EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the turbulent times of the English Civil War. Created by William Henry Simmons, this mixed method engraving on chine collé captures the essence of an era marked by conflict and political upheaval. The image depicts a clandestine meeting between two lovers amidst the backdrop of a dense forest. The man, dressed in traditional attire of the time, represents a royalist sympathizer who has been outlawed for his allegiance to the monarchy. Seeking refuge in nature's embrace, he finds solace under an ancient oak tree – his hiding place from those who would persecute him. Intriguingly, it is not only their forbidden love that draws our attention but also their contrasting religious beliefs. The woman embodies Protestantism with her puritanical appearance and devout expression while she tenderly kisses her lover's hand. This subtle gesture symbolizes their unwavering commitment despite being torn apart by opposing ideologies. Simmons' artistic style beautifully captures the emotional depth and complexity of this historical moment. Through meticulous detail and expert use of black and white tones, he evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of its heritage art collection, "The Proscribed Royalist" invites viewers to reflect upon themes such as loyalty, sacrifice, and resilience during times of national turmoil. It serves as both a visual testament to history and an exploration into human emotions that transcend time itself.
