EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Scene ii Act IV from William Shakespeare's renowned play, Cymbeline. Painted by Henry Singleton, the oil on canvas artwork measures 62x74 cm and is part of a private collection. In this scene, we witness the dramatic rescue of Imogen, daughter of King Cymbeline. Sick and weary hunters Arviragus, Belarius, and Guiderus stumble upon her deep within the forest. The painting beautifully portrays their surprise as they discover Imogen amidst her desperate escape. The setting exudes an air of mystery and danger as the hunters cautiously approach Imogen. The lush greenery surrounding them adds to the sense of isolation and secrecy that permeates this scene. Singleton's attention to detail is evident in his portrayal of each character's expressions – Imogen appears both relieved yet apprehensive while the hunters display a mix of concern and determination. Through his brushstrokes, he masterfully captures not only their physical exhaustion but also their emotional turmoil. Dating back to either the 18th or 19th century (the exact date remains uncertain), this painting transports us back to a time when Shakespearean plays were celebrated for their timeless themes and unforgettable characters. It serves as a testament to Shakespeare's enduring legacy while offering viewers an opportunity to immerse themselves in one particular moment from Cymbeline – a tale filled with love, betrayal, redemption, and ultimately triumph over adversity.
