EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment from Act II, Scene vii of William Shakespeare's renowned play, "As You Like It". Painted by the talented artist Robert Smirke between 1798 and 1801, this masterpiece titled "The Seven Ages of Man: The Infant" depicts the innocence and vulnerability of early life. Measuring at 38.2x50.5 cm, it is housed in the prestigious Yale Center for British Art. In this scene, Smirke skillfully portrays an allegorical representation of humanity's journey through life. The focus lies on a beautiful baby surrounded by symbols that represent different stages and aspects of existence. This thought-provoking composition prompts viewers to reflect upon their own experiences as they witness the beginning of life's grand performance. "The Seven Ages of Man: The Infant" not only explores themes such as family, poverty, power but also highlights the importance of charity and compassion towards others. Through his meticulous use of pen & ink and oil on panel techniques, Smirke brings depth and emotion to every brushstroke. This extraordinary piece invites us to ponder our place in the world while reminding us that we are all players on life's stage.
