EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Art in Excelsis, 1874 (1891)", we are transported to the opulent drawing-room of the Montgomery Spiffunses. The room's ceiling has been adorned with intricate decorations by skilled artists, leaving the family feeling immensely satisfied with the admiration it garners from their friends. The scene captures a moment of social gathering, where both men and women are present. A fashionable lady sits elegantly, holding a fan in her hand while looking up at the exquisitely decorated ceiling. Her Victorian-era dress showcases the fashion trends of that time. George du Maurier, renowned for his satirical drawings featured in Punch magazine, skillfully brings this interior design concept to life through his detailed monochrome engraving. The artist's keen eye for capturing societal nuances is evident as he humorously portrays the Montgomery Spiffunses' pride and delight in their newly embellished space. This 19th-century artwork not only serves as a visual representation of interior decoration during that era but also offers a glimpse into society's fascination with status and aesthetic appeal. As we admire this print from Heritage Images' collection curated by The Print Collector29 (not affiliated with any company), we can appreciate du Maurier's artistic talent and his ability to convey satire through his work.
