EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "A Street in Perspective" takes us back to the early 17th century. Created by the renowned architect Inigo Jones, this pen and ink drawing showcases his exceptional talent for stage design. The scene depicted here is from Ben Jonson's play "The Vision of Delight" (1617), adding an intriguing layer of theatricality to this artwork. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported to a fantastical world where reality blends with imagination. The street stretches out before us, leading our eyes towards a distant vanishing point that creates a mesmerizing sense of depth and perspective. Every intricate detail has been meticulously rendered, capturing the essence of Stuart-era architecture. This elaborate streetscape serves as the backdrop for a grand celebration or masquerade party. Its neoclassical facades exude elegance and splendor while hinting at the ceremonial nature of the event taking place within its walls. This temporary architectural masterpiece evokes both awe and wonder as it sets the stage for an unforgettable spectacle. With its Renaissance-inspired elements combined with Jacobean flair, this print embodies an idealized vision of urban life during that era. It invites us to immerse ourselves in a world filled with beauty, entertainment, and architectural marvels. Reproduced by permission from Chatsworth Settlement Trustees, this historical gem offers us a glimpse into Inigo Jones' genius as well as the vibrant cultural scene of 17th-century England.
