EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the elegant and refined Mrs. Harriet Bouverie and Mrs. Frances Ann Crewe, two prominent aristocratic women of their time. Engraved by the talented Giuseppe Marchi in 1770, this mezzotint perfectly captures the grace and sophistication of these ladies. In this double portrait, we see both women seated in a picturesque garden setting, engaged in an animated conversation. Their gestures and expressions reveal a sense of camaraderie and friendship between them. The composition exudes an air of aristocracy, with its emphasis on their status as members of high society. The artist skillfully portrays these women as symbols of beauty and femininity within Georgian British society. Their elegant attire, delicate features, and regal posture reflect their privileged upbringing and social standing. The title "Et In Arcadia Ego" adds another layer to the artwork's meaning. It translates to "Even in Arcadia I exist" suggesting that even amidst idyllic surroundings like this garden paradise, mortality is still present. This exquisite engraving offers us a glimpse into the lives of influential women during this era while also celebrating their timeless beauty. Displayed at the Yale Center for British Art thanks to the generous support from Paul Mellon Fund USA, it serves as a testament to the enduring allure of art throughout history.
