EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph captures the hallucinations of English playwright Ben Jonson, as imagined by the Spanish School in the 19th century. The print, part of a private collection, is an exceptional example of this art form and was created for Jose Coroleu's book "Las Supersticiones De La Humanidad" in 1881. In this intriguing scene, we find ourselves in a dimly lit bedroom where Jonson appears to be experiencing vivid visions. Surrounded by an army of miniature soldiers, he lies on a grand bed adorned with luxurious furnishings. This surreal depiction reflects the superstitions prevalent during the 17th century and highlights mankind's fascination with supernatural phenomena. The composition exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as Jonson's mind transports him into another realm. As one of England's most renowned dramatists, his imagination takes flight beyond the confines of reality. The artist skillfully portrays not only Jonson's hallucinating state but also captures the essence of European culture at that time. This artwork serves as a testament to humanity's enduring belief in superstitions across different cultures and eras. It invites us to contemplate our own perceptions and question what lies beyond our everyday experiences. Through its rich symbolism and meticulous attention to detail, this chromolithograph offers viewers a glimpse into both history and fantasy simultaneously.
