EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting characters of Marie and Maria from Shakespeare's play, "Twelfth Night". The image is part of the renowned "Shakespeare Women's Gallery" a collection of serious portraits created by early London artists in the 19th century. The two women are depicted with utmost elegance and grace, their expressions reflecting the complexity of their roles in the play. Marie, also known as Viola, exudes a sense of vulnerability mixed with determination, while Maria emanates confidence and wit. These contrasting personalities beautifully capture the essence of Shakespearean heroines. The portrait itself is an exquisite engraving by Stefano Bianchetti, one of London's finest artists at that time. His attention to detail brings out every nuance in these characters' features and costumes. The black-and-white composition adds a timeless quality to this piece. As viewers gaze upon this print, they are transported back to 1838 when it was first published as part of a larger collection dedicated to celebrating Shakespearean women. Each portrait was accompanied by critical and literary notes that further enriched the understanding and appreciation for these iconic figures. This particular print now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate audiences with its artistic brilliance and homage to William Shakespeare's enduring legacy.
