EDITORS COMMENTS
This pen and ink print, titled "Floods: the Chorus" transports viewers back to the 17th century with its exquisite depiction of courtly life. Created by Inigo Jones in approximately 1631, this artwork showcases his remarkable talent for design and composition. The scene depicted is a design for Ben Jonson's play Chloridia: Rites to Chloris and her Nymphs. It captures a moment from a masque, an elaborate theatrical performance popular during the Stuart era. The flood theme is personified through musicians dressed in extravagant costumes, playing their violins with great skill and passion. Every detail in this drawing exudes elegance and sophistication. The courtiers' attire reflects the fashion trends of the Renaissance period, while their exotic dress adds an element of intrigue. The water surrounding them creates a sense of movement and drama, enhancing the overall atmosphere of the piece. Inigo Jones masterfully captures both the grandeur of courtly entertainment and the essence of baroque aesthetics in this print. Its intricate details invite viewers to immerse themselves in this enchanting world where music intertwines with visual splendor. Reproduced here with permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this image offers us a glimpse into history—a time when artistry thrived within royal courts—and reminds us that even centuries later, these artistic expressions continue to captivate our imagination.
