EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal scene from William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Merchant of Venice". Set in Act III, Scene II, the image depicts a room in Portia's house where Bassanio, Portia, Gratiano, Nerissa and their attendants gather. The composition is based on an exquisite painting by Richard Westall and was published in the late 19th century as part of the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery collection. In this momentous scene, tension fills the air as Bassanio seeks to choose one of three caskets that will determine his fate and potential marriage to Portia. The characters are beautifully portrayed with intricate details that bring them to life. Bassanio stands at the center of attention dressed in black attire while contemplating his decision. Portia exudes elegance and intelligence with her white gown contrasting against her dark hair. Gratiano and Nerissa stand beside them offering support during this critical juncture. The illustration showcases not only the skillful artistry but also highlights the dramatic intensity present within Shakespeare's work. It serves as a visual reminder of the timeless themes explored throughout "The Merchant of Venice" such as love, loyalty, justice, and prejudice. Ken Welsh's masterful reproduction allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent behind Richard Westall's original painting and Shakespeare's enduring legacy. This print is a testament to how literature can be brought to life through visual representation for generations to come.
