Original Description
The Escape of the Royal Family from Naples by Edmund Dulac is a captivating watercolor illustration steeped in romantic drama and exoticism. Created in 1911 for The Kingdom of the Pearl, this work showcases Dulac’s mastery of jewel-toned hues and intricate details, blending Art Nouveau elegance with Orientalist influences. The scene depicts Queen Amélie of Portugal’s flight from Napoleon’s forces—a historical moment reimagined through Dulac’s dreamlike lens, where luminescent moonlight bathes the royal procession in an ethereal glow. As one of Dulac’s standout pieces from his golden period, it exemplifies early 20th-century book illustration’s shift toward fine art, bridging narrative storytelling with gallery-worthy craftsmanship. Today, it remains a testament to Dulac’s status as a peer of Arthur Rackham in the "Golden Age of Illustration."
For décor, this painting’s rich blues and golds make it ideal for accenting traditional or eclectic interiors. Hang it in a study or dining room with gilded frames and velvet upholstery to amplify its regal undertones, or pair it with Moorish-style arches and Persian rugs for an Orientalist vignette. Opt for a medium-sized reproduction (24x36 inches) above a console table or fireplace to balance its narrative detail without overwhelming the space. In offices, it lends gravitas to executive suites when paired with dark wood furnishings and emerald-green walls—the royal procession’s urgency subtly echoing ambition. Dulac’s muted yet luminous palette harmonizes with brass fixtures and stained glass, while the vertical composition suits high-ceilinged corridors or stairwell landings, inviting contemplation at eye level.
