EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us to the tragic world of William Shakespeare's King Lear. In this scene, Cordelia, the virtuous daughter of Lear, is depicted being led away from her treacherous sisters Goneril and Regan. The illustration, created by Ford Madox Brown in 1850 for The Germ periodical, beautifully captures the emotional turmoil within this iconic play. The etching showcases Cordelia as she stands tall and resolute while being pulled away from her conniving siblings. Her expression exudes strength and determination amidst a backdrop of familial rivalry and jealousy. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded of the complex dynamics that exist within families - love intertwined with betrayal. The presence of a fool or jester adds an additional layer to the narrative. Perhaps he serves as a symbol of truth-telling in a world filled with deceit. His inclusion highlights the themes of deception and manipulation that permeate throughout King Lear. Through this print, we are transported back in time to witness one of Shakespeare's most powerful tragedies unfold before our eyes. It serves as a visual reminder not only of the timeless brilliance of his works but also how art can capture raw human emotions like no other medium can.
