EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal scene from William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Tempest". Created by Sir John Gilbert in the mid-19th century, this wood engraving beautifully depicts Act I, Scene II of the play. The illustration showcases three central characters: Ariel, Prospero, and Caliban. In this momentous scene, we witness the juxtaposition of good and evil as Ariel, an ethereal spirit bound to serve Prospero, hovers above them. Prospero is depicted as a wise and powerful figure who holds dominion over the island they inhabit. His commanding presence contrasts with Caliban's monstrous appearance - a representation of his wild nature. Shakespeare's "The Tempest" explores themes of magic, betrayal, forgiveness, and redemption. This particular image encapsulates these themes through its intricate details and masterful composition. The wood engraving technique adds depth to each character's expression while capturing their individual personalities. As viewers delve into this mesmerizing artwork by Sir John Gilbert from 1856-60 (SHAKESPEARE: TEMPEST), they are transported back to Elizabethan times when Shakespeare first penned this iconic play in 1611. It serves as a testament to the enduring power of Shakespearean literature that continues to captivate audiences across centuries.
