EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Monument to John Phillimore and Susannah his Wife" created by renowned artist John Flaxman in 1804. The plaster sculpture, measuring 41.3x23.4 cm, is housed at the UCL Art Museum in University College London. In this neoclassical masterpiece, Flaxman skillfully captures the essence of love and loss through a composition that exudes pathos and emotion. The figures of John Phillimore and Susannah are depicted in high relief, draped in flowing garments that add an ethereal quality to their embrace. The Greek revival influence is evident as Flaxman draws inspiration from ancient Grecian art forms, infusing them with a contemporary sensibility. This commemorative memorial stands as a testament to the enduring power of classical aesthetics. The photograph beautifully highlights the intricate details of this statue, allowing viewers to appreciate its delicate craftsmanship up close. It invites us into a world where time seems suspended, evoking contemplation on life's fleeting nature and the eternal bond between two souls. As we gaze upon this image captured by Bridgeman Images, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary work of art that transcends centuries. It serves as a poignant reminder of our shared human experience – one filled with love, loss, remembrance, and ultimately hope for immortality through artistic expression.
