EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in William Shakespeare's renowned play, "The Tempest". The scene depicted is Act I, Scene II, where the ethereal character of Ariel takes center stage. Created by Sir John Gilbert in the mid-19th century, this wood engraving beautifully brings to life the enchanting world of Shakespeare's imagination. In this illustration, Ariel appears as a nude fairy-like creature with delicate wings and an otherworldly aura. The attention to detail in Gilbert's work is remarkable; every line and curve exudes grace and elegance. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back to Elizabethan times when theater was at its peak. "The Tempest" itself is a tale filled with magic and mystery. It tells the story of Prospero, a sorcerer who conjures up a storm that shipwrecks his enemies on an island he inhabits. Ariel plays a crucial role as Prospero's loyal spirit servant throughout the play. This particular wood engraving perfectly encapsulates the essence of Ariel - mischievous yet graceful, powerful yet vulnerable. It serves as both an homage to Shakespeare's genius and Gilbert's artistic talent. Whether you are an avid fan of Shakespeare or simply appreciate exquisite illustrations from centuries past, this print will undoubtedly captivate your imagination and transport you into the fantastical realm of "The Tempest.
