EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the mesmerizing cover design of "Life and Times of Madame du Barry" by Aubrey Beardsley. Created in 1896, this exquisite piece of art nouveau captures the essence of the era with its intricate details and decadent style. The cover design features two sets of arms, crest, supporters, and a motto that symbolize the family lineage of Du Barry Ceres. On one side, we see the dexter arms representing this noble family while on the other side are presumably the sinister arms belonging to Jean Baptiste Gormand de Vaubernier, who is believed to be Madame du Barry's father. Published by Leonard Smithers and featured in "The Best of Beardsley" edited by R. A. Walker in 1948, this book cover exemplifies Beardsley's mastery in graphic design and heraldry. The blazon-like elements add an air of elegance to this biographical work about Marie Jeanne Gomard de Vaubernier Comtesse du Barry – a famous courtesan from 18th-century France. With its meticulous attention to detail and striking composition, this artwork reflects both Beardsley's unique artistic vision as well as his contribution to British literature during that time period. It stands as a testament to his talent for creating visually stunning illustrations that transport viewers into another world. Whether you appreciate art history or simply admire beautiful designs, this print encapsulates the allure and charm associated with Aubrey Beardsley's iconic works.
