Mr. Darcy Lives © TORLONIA FOUNDATION The dashing literary hero from Jane Austin's Pride and Prejudice is the inspiration for Schumacher's latest collection of wallpapers conceived by Johnson Hartig, the force behind fashion brand Libertine. Mr. Darcy's three-panel set depicts a bird's-eye view of a quaint English hamlet, evoking the meticulous details and hand-colored look of an 18th-century engraving. Hartig has trained his creative lens on two additional wallpaper designs. Mr. Darcy's Clouds is a finely rendered closeup of the cloudscape, and La Forêt is a lush scenic wallpaper inspired by 17th-century Flemish tapestries. Extensively researched and drawn by hand, La Forêt's composition of three 16-foot-tall panels took more than 800 hours to design. Schumacher X Johnson Hartig, at Schumacher.

T he Fondazione Bulgari-supported exhibition "Myth and Marble: Ancient Roman Sculpture from the Torlonia Collection," which opens at Fort Worth's Kimbell Art Museum on September 14 (through January 25, 2026), promises to be one of the blockbusters of the fall. This is the second stop for the exhibition, which opened at the Art Institute of Chicago last month. The Torlonia marbles are the world's largest private collection of imperial Roman sculptures. The exhibition will bring the greatest of these works to the United States for the first time — 58 highlights from the collection, with 25 that have never been on view in modern times, all restored by Fondazione Torlonia with the support of Fondazione Bulgari. 42 Portrait of Maiden of Vulci, Known as the Torlonia Girl, circa 31–23 BC, The Torlonia Collection Schumacher X Johnson Hartig La Forêt and Mr. Darcy (right) " "
