EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the renowned actor David Garrick and his wife in front of their majestic Temple to Shakespeare at Hampton. Painted by Johann Zoffany around 1762, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 102.2x134.6 cm and is now housed in the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. The image showcases a picturesque scene with the couple standing proudly amidst their country estate grounds, overlooking a serene lake. The temple itself stands as a testament to Garrick's deep admiration for Shakespeare, serving as both a tribute and sanctuary dedicated to the legendary playwright. In this intimate moment frozen in time, we witness not only their love for each other but also their shared passion for art and culture. A loyal companion can be seen by their side - an adorable dog that adds warmth and charm to the composition. Garrick, known for his exceptional talent on stage, was one of Britain's most celebrated actors during the 18th century. This photograph allows us a glimpse into his private life, revealing him not just as an artist but also as a devoted husband and lover of nature. Zoffany masterfully captures every detail of this idyllic setting; from the lush greenery surrounding them to the grandeur of their home in the background – it all comes together harmoniously to create an enchanting visual narrative that speaks volumes about love, artistry, and appreciation for beauty.
