EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a stunning costume design by Inigo Jones for the courtly masque Britannia Triumphans. Created in 1637, this pen and ink sketch measures 17.7x13 cm and is part of The Devonshire Collections at Chatsworth. The masque was composed by William Lawes specifically for The Kings Twelfth Night Masque, which took place in the Temporary Masquing Room at Whitehall. This extraordinary piece of art captures the essence of baroque British entertainment during the Jacobean era. In the image, we see a distinguished man dressed as a courtier, exuding elegance and grace. His elaborate costume reflects his noble status with intricate details such as plumed helmet, sword, and baton. The military elements suggest that he may also be portraying a soldier or warrior character within the masque. Jones's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of this drawing. The flowing lines bring life to each feather on the plumes adorning the helmet while capturing the grandeur and theatricality expected from such an event. Thanks to Bridgeman Images' permission, we have access to this remarkable piece from English history. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural heritage and offers us a glimpse into an extravagant era filled with pageantry and royal festivities.
