Comedy Lioness Rescue Wild Animal
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in William Shakespeare's renowned play, "As You Like It". Titled "The Forest, The Rescue of Oliver, Act II, Scene VII" the image transports us to the heart of the story. In this scene, Oliver recounts his miraculous rescue by Orlando to Rosalind and Celia. The lithograph, published in the late 19th century as part of The Boydell Shakespeare Gallery collection, showcases Raphael Lamar West's artistic talent. With great attention to detail and dramatic flair, West brings this comedic yet intense moment to life. In the foreground stands Oliver, his face filled with awe and gratitude as he relays his harrowing experience. Behind him looms a majestic lioness - a symbol of both danger and salvation. This wild animal becomes an unexpected ally for Orlando as he bravely saves Oliver from certain peril. The composition exudes tension and emotion; it is impossible not to be drawn into this climactic scene. As viewers gaze upon this print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, they are reminded of Shakespeare's timeless themes: loyalty triumphing over adversity and the power of unexpected alliances. This remarkable artwork serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring legacy and West's skillful interpretation. It invites us into a world where even amidst chaos and uncertainty, there is always room for heroism and redemption.
