Arliss

Arliss is a Romanticism artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Victoria and Albert Museum.

Arliss made 1830s prints that put actors into famous roles. In "Miss Love in the character of Don Giovanni," a woman dressed as the bold seducer stands center stage, her costume sharp against plain backdrops. The print shows how theater and print shops teamed up to sell fame and scandal to city crowds. See how the print’s crisp lines and stark lighting copy the stage’s own spotlight.
