EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Don Juan, Sganarelle and the Beggar" is an illustration from Moliere's renowned play Don Juan. Created in 1896 by Aubrey Beardsley, a talented English illustrator and author, this print showcases his distinctive style influenced by Japanese woodcuts. Beardsley's use of bold black ink creates a striking contrast against the white background, emphasizing the grotesque and decadent elements of the scene. The characters are depicted with exaggerated features, adding to their comedic appeal. Don Juan himself stands tall and confident while Sganarelle appears as a hunchbacked clown-like figure. The beggar is portrayed in a witch-like manner with her stark appearance contrasting against the dark surroundings. The monochromatic aesthetic of this artwork reflects the Art Nouveau movement prevalent during that time period. Beardsley's attention to detail and stylistic approach make this illustration visually captivating. As we gaze upon this lithograph, we are transported back to 19th-century France where Moliere's timeless comedy comes alive through Beardsley's artistic interpretation. It serves as a reminder of both the enduring power of literature and art’s ability to capture our imagination across centuries. This particular print belongs to a private collection but has been made available for public appreciation through Prismatic Pictures. Its presence reminds us of Beardsley’s significant contribution to art history as well as his unique ability to evoke emotions through his intricate engravings.
