EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a mesmerizing scene from William Shakespeare's renowned play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Titled "Le Songe d'une nuit d'ete, Lysandre et Hermia - Hermia and Lysander" the artwork by John Simmons (1823-1876) beautifully depicts the enchanting love story of two fictional characters. Set in a mystical forest, the painting showcases Lysander and Hermia deeply engrossed in each other's company. Their affectionate gaze reveals their profound love for one another amidst the dreamlike atmosphere. The artist skillfully employs watercolor and gouache on paper to bring out the ethereal qualities of this romantic encounter. Simmons transports us into a world where reality intertwines with fantasy, as if we are witnessing a vision or dream. The lush greenery surrounding them symbolizes nature's embrace of their love, while an array of vibrant plants adds to the magical ambiance. A sprite-like fairy hovers nearby, adding an element of whimsy to this romantic tableau. The painting exudes elements of Romanticism through its portrayal of intense emotions and connection between man and woman. It also draws upon folklore and Viking influences that further enhance its allure. As we admire this exquisite piece from our private collection, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare's works continue to captivate audiences across centuries. This timeless depiction invites us to immerse ourselves in the beauty of literature, theater, and above all else – love itself.
