EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Frank Dicksee's iconic painting, "Scenes from Romeo and Juliet: The Ball Scene (I, V), 1882". The artist masterfully captures the essence of Shakespeare's timeless love story through his use of gouache in en grisaille technique. Measuring at 31.1x43.9 cm, this exquisite piece is part of a private collection and dates back to the late nineteenth century. It beautifully depicts a pivotal moment in the play where Romeo and Juliet first meet at the grand ball. The image portrays a dimly lit room with a single candle illuminating the scene, creating an atmosphere of intimacy and secrecy. A medium group of people can be seen dancing in elegant attire while Romeo gazes adoringly into Juliet's eyes as they hold hands. Dicksee's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the delicate floral patterns on women's garments and showcasing Victorian fashion trends of that era. The photograph perfectly encapsulates the passion and devotion shared between these star-crossed lovers amidst their clandestine affair. It transports viewers back to nineteenth-century England, immersing them in both the beauty and tragedy of Shakespearean romance. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to Dicksee's talent as well as his ability to bring fictional characters to life through his artistry. A true masterpiece that continues to captivate audiences even after more than a century since its creation.
