EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sic Transit Gloria Mundi" transports us back to the vibrant 1920s, a time when art and culture flourished. Created by the talented artist William Giles in 1928, this masterpiece is featured in the renowned book "Masters of the Colour Print". The image showcases an exquisite male peacock proudly displaying his magnificent feathers to attract a female companion, known as a peahen. The intricate patterns and vivid colors of his plumage are truly mesmerizing, symbolizing beauty and ephemeral moments. Giles skillfully captures this courtship ritual, highlighting not only the natural splendor of these birds but also exploring deeper concepts such as gender dynamics and societal norms prevalent during that era. Through his lens, he invites viewers to ponder on themes of attraction, display, and fleeting beauty. As we gaze upon this extraordinary artwork today, it serves as a reminder of how artists like Giles were able to encapsulate the essence of their time within their creations. This print from nearly a century ago continues to captivate audiences with its timeless appeal. "The Studio Limited & William Edwin Rudge" published this remarkable piece in London & New York in 1928.
