Collection: Harry Clarke

Harry Clarke was an Irish stained glass artist and book illustrator known for his detailed and intricate designs. This particular piece, "But Trust the Muse, She Saw it Upward Rise," created in 1913, is a fine example of his skill in working with ink and graphite. The dimensions of the artwork suggest it is relatively small, yet Clarke's ability to convey depth and emotion within such a confined space is remarkable. His work often features elaborate, dream-like scenes filled with ethereal figures and intricate patterns, drawing viewers into a fantastical world of his creation.
