EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and enchanting tempera painting, titled "Fantasia," dates back to circa 1918, showcasing a jolly festival filled with clowns and dancers under the cover of night. The scene is illuminated by the warm glow of bright lanterns, which hang from trees and buildings, casting a colourful and magical aura over the celebration. The joyous atmosphere is palpable as the performers entertain the crowd with their lively antics, their faces painted with cheerful expressions and intricate designs. This image was discovered in the July volume of an old magazine from the Mary Evans Prints Online collection, aptly named "March of the Women." Although the specific context of the festival remains a mystery, the painting evokes a sense of unity and celebration, inviting viewers to imagine the laughter and camaraderie that must have filled the air during this enchanting nighttime event. The use of tempera paint adds to the painting's richness and depth, with each brushstroke bringing the festive scene to life. The vibrant colours and intricate details capture the essence of a bygone era, transporting us back in time to a moment of pure joy and merriment.
