EDITORS COMMENTS
This close-up print captures the exquisite beauty of a Secretaire commode, created by artist George Brookshaw in 1785. The intricate design of this neo-classical piece is adorned with medallions inspired by the works of Angelica Kauffmann, a renowned painter from the 18th century. Each medallion tells its own story, representing iconic scenes such as "Una and the Lion" on top, along with depictions of lovers "Damon and Musidora" and "Paris and Oenone". Currently held at The Lady Lever Art Gallery in Liverpool, this stunning commode stands as a testament to British craftsmanship during that era. Its circular shape adds an element of elegance to any space it graces. Against a white background, every detail shines through - from the carefully painted figures to the neoclassical motifs. This photograph was featured in The Connoisseur Volume 102 published in London back in 1938. It offers viewers a glimpse into both art history and interior design trends of that time period. As we admire this remarkable object through the lens of modern photography, we can appreciate how it seamlessly combines mythology with artistic skill. The print collector who captured this image has preserved not only George Brookshaw's masterpiece but also a piece of cultural heritage for future generations to cherish.
