"The Tempest" is a captivating play by William Shakespeare that continues to inspire artists across various mediums. In John William Waterhouse's painting "Miranda. The Tempest, 1916, " we see the enchanting character of Miranda, who is central to the story. Her innocence and beauty are captured in this stunning artwork. Another intriguing piece related to "The Tempest" is "The Blackbird Song, " an oil on canvas painting from around 1908. This artwork evokes a sense of mystery and magic, much like the play itself. In an illustration from Shakespeare's original work, we witness Prospero and Miranda observing the tempest they have conjured up. The color lithograph brings their awe-inspiring moment to life. Henry James Townsend's portrayal of Ariel, one of the play's most ethereal characters, showcases his talent as an artist. This c1870 depiction captures Ariel's otherworldly essence perfectly. Moving away from specific artworks but still within the realm of inspiration for "The Tempest, " we find ourselves inside Westminster Abbey through a black-and-white photograph. Its grandeur reflects the majestic settings often associated with Shakespearean plays. Thrumpton Hall in Nottinghamshire offers another glimpse into architectural beauty that resonates with scenes from "The Tempest. " As seen in a monochrome photo featured in '100 Favourite Houses, ' it transports us back to medieval times where castles and halls were common settings for tales filled with knights and chivalry. Speaking of knights, Gareth and Lynette's story comes alive through illustrations found in 'The Gateway to Tennyson. ' A colored illustration depicts a medieval knight preparing his Morning Star weapon for battle—a scene reminiscent of conflicts portrayed within "The Tempest. " A glazed earthenware lion roof tile dating back to around 1650 adds yet another layer of intrigue surrounding this timeless play. Such artifacts remind us how deeply rooted literature can be within our history and culture.
