Artist
J. Days
J. Days is an Impressionism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.
J. Days drew the cluttered stage before the curtain went up. In a graphite sheet titled Drawing of scenery and props in Sardanapalus, you see painted flats, a gilded throne, and the angled legs of a side table, every prop for a Victorian staging of Byron’s tragedy. Their lines map a theater backstage in the 1850s, before gas footlights gave way to electricity.
For a closer look, tap Drawing of scenery and props in Sardanapalus and zoom in on the crisscross of rigging lines overhead.
