EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print titled "Two Lackeys" by Inigo Jones takes us back to the courtly era of Stuart England. The image showcases two comic servants, adorned in elaborate costumes and masks, engaged in a lively dance. Their exaggerated movements and expressions bring an element of comedy to the scene, evoking laughter from those who witness their antics. The surreal nature of this masquerade is further heightened by the inclusion of chicken feet on one of the lackeys' shoes, adding a bizarre touch to their already exotic appearance. As they hold hands mid-leap, these characters exude a sense of camaraderie and mischief that is characteristic of courtiers during this period. Inigo Jones's intricate design captures every detail with precision, showcasing his mastery as both an artist and a theatrical designer. This print transports us into a world where entertainment was paramount, where masques were performed for the delight of nobility. With its rich Renaissance fashion and Jacobean flair, "Two Lackeys" offers us a glimpse into the vibrant world of courtly life during Inigo Jones's time. It serves as a reminder that even amidst grandeur and formality, there was always room for humor and lightheartedness within the walls of royal palaces.
