EDITORS COMMENTS
This portrait print showcases Mrs Cibber, a renowned actress and singer of the 18th century, in her role as Cordelia from Shakespeare's play "King Lear". Painted by Pieter van Bleeck in 1755, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures an impressive 210x205 cm. The painting is now housed at the Yale Center for British Art as part of the esteemed Paul Mellon Collection. Dressed in a sumptuous satin gown, Mrs Cibber exudes elegance and grace. Her costume perfectly captures the essence of Cordelia, portraying her as a noble and virtuous character. As the daughter-in-law of Colley Cibber, another prominent actor of that era, Mrs Cibber was no stranger to the stage. She skillfully brought to life this pivotal role with her exceptional acting abilities. The artist has expertly captured Susannah Maria Arne's likeness (nee Arne), showcasing not only her beauty but also her talent through his brushstrokes. This portrait immortalizes Mrs Cibber's contribution to theater history and serves as a testament to her enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported back in time to witness a mesmerizing performance unfold before our eyes. It reminds us of the power of artistry and how it can transcend generations, leaving an indelible mark on society's cultural fabric.
