Aesthetic Decadent Erotic John The Baptist Kiss Kissed Lips Mouth Severed
17"x15" (43x38cm) Premium Frame
FSC real wood frame with double mounted 10x8 print. Double mounted with white conservation mountboard. Frame moulding comprises stained composite natural wood veneers (Finger Jointed Pine) 39mm wide by 21mm thick. Archival quality Fujifilm CA photo paper mounted onto 1mm card. Overall outside dimensions are 17x15 inches (431x381mm). Rear features Framing tape to cover staples, 50mm Hanger plate, cork bumpers. Glazed with durable thick 2mm Acrylic to provide a virtually unbreakable glass-like finish. Acrylic Glass is far safer, more flexible and much lighter than typical mineral glass. Moreover, its higher translucency makes it a perfect carrier for photo prints. Acrylic allows a little more light to penetrate the surface than conventional glass and absorbs UV rays so that the image and the picture quality doesn't suffer under direct sunlight even after many years. Easily cleaned with a damp cloth. Please note that, to prevent the paper falling through the mount window and to prevent cropping of the original artwork, the visible print may be slightly smaller to allow the paper to be securely attached to the mount without any white edging showing and to match the aspect ratio of the original artwork.

EDITORS COMMENTS
The Climax, illustration from Salome by Oscar Wilde, 1893 (line block print) captures the provocative and decadent essence of Oscar Wilde's controversial play. Created by Aubrey Beardsley, this mesmerizing artwork showcases his unique art nouveau style and his ability to evoke both beauty and darkness. In this image, we see the severed head of John the Baptist being passionately kissed on the lips by Salome. The intensity of their forbidden encounter is palpable as their mouths meet in a moment that defies societal norms. The eroticism portrayed here challenges conventional notions of desire and power. Beardsley's intricate line work adds depth and intricacy to every detail - from the delicate features of Salome's face to the flowing locks of her hair. The composition exudes an aesthetic allure that draws viewers into this scandalous scene. This print not only captures a pivotal moment in literature but also represents a turning point in artistic expression during the late 19th century. It reflects the decadence and sensuality associated with fin de siècle culture while pushing boundaries with its explicit subject matter. As part of The Stapleton Collection, this rare piece offers us a glimpse into an era where art dared to challenge societal norms. It serves as a reminder that even within controversy lies immense beauty.
