EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of one of literature's most iconic and tragic characters, Juliet. Painted by Thomas-Francis Dicksee in 1877, this oil on canvas masterpiece brings to life the famous balcony scene from Shakespeare's timeless play, Romeo and Juliet. In this moonlit setting, Juliet stands on her balcony, yearning for her beloved Romeo. With a sense of longing in her eyes and a delicate pose, she utters those immortal words: "Oh Romeo, Romeo! wherefore art thou Romeo. . . . . Tis but thy name that is my enemy; Thou art thyself though". The artist skillfully portrays the depth of emotion within Juliet's character as she questions the significance of names and societal divisions. The soft brushstrokes beautifully capture the ethereal atmosphere surrounding her. Measuring at 106.5x71 cm, this painting now resides in Sunderland Museum & Winter Gardens in Tyne & Wear, UK. It serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and Dicksee's ability to bring fictional characters to life through his artwork. As we gaze upon this print today, we are reminded of love's power to transcend boundaries and endure even amidst tragedy. This image encapsulates the universal themes explored by Shakespeare while showcasing the talent and vision of an exceptional artist from the 19th century.
