EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back to the 18th century as we witness Mrs Cibber embodying the tragic character of Cordelia in Shakespeare's play "King Lear". Painted by Pieter van Bleeck around 1755, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 38.2x52.2 cm and is now housed at the Yale Center for British Art. Mrs Cibber, a renowned actress of her time, exudes grace and poise as she portrays Cordelia, King Lear's beloved daughter. Her delicate features are beautifully captured by Bleeck's masterful brushstrokes, revealing both vulnerability and strength in her expression. As an actress herself, Mrs Cibber brings authenticity to her performance through subtle gestures and body language. The viewer can almost hear her voice resonating with emotion as she delivers Cordelia's heartfelt lines. The playfulness of the composition is enhanced by the soft lighting that envelops Mrs Cibber like a nocturne scene. It adds an ethereal quality to her presence on stage, emphasizing the magical atmosphere created during live performances in those times. This print not only celebrates Mrs Cibber's talent but also pays homage to Shakespearean theater itself. It serves as a reminder of how art has the power to transcend time and transport us into different worlds through its portrayal of human emotions and experiences.
