EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sigh no more, ladies, sigh no more" takes us back to the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing. Created in 1890 by John Gilbert, this vibrant colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment from Act II, Scene III of the play. In this scene, Balthazar serenades with his melodious voice while standing on an elegant arcade stairway. The characters are depicted in exquisite detail and their expressions reveal a range of emotions - from comedy to romance. As Balthazar sings his song, love fills the air as lovers listen attentively or eavesdrop discreetly. The illustration transports us into a realm where love and mischief intertwine effortlessly. It beautifully encapsulates the essence of Shakespearean theatre - its wit, charm, and timeless appeal. The intricate architecture adds depth to the composition while enhancing our immersion into this whimsical setting. This piece is part of The Illustrated Library Shakespeare series published in London during that era. Its inclusion in private collections speaks volumes about its artistic significance and historical value. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork by Ken Welsh from Fine Art Finder via bridgemanimages. com , we cannot help but be captivated by its beauty and transported to a world where music enchants souls and love conquers all.
