EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Edwin Austin Abbey's masterpiece, "Who Is Sylvia? What Is She, That All the Swains Commend Her?" painted between 1896 and 1899. The oil on canvas artwork measures an impressive 122x122 cm and is part of the Corcoran Collection at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D. C. , USA. Abbey's reworked version from 1900 beautifully captures a scene inspired by Shakespeare's play "Two Gentlemen of Verona". The painting depicts a female musician playing a lute while being adored by two gentlemen in a theater setting. The Victorian-era characters exude admiration for Sylvia, highlighting her undeniable beauty and talent. The composition transports viewers to Renaissance Italy with its intricate details and poetic atmosphere. Abbey skillfully combines elements of pre-Raphaelite art with Shakespearean themes, creating a harmonious blend that captivates both the eye and imagination. Through this photo print, we are invited to appreciate not only Abbey's artistic prowess but also his ability to bring Shakespearean characters to life on canvas. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of art in capturing moments that transcend time and space.
