EDITORS COMMENTS
Isabella and Angelo (Shakespeare, Measure for Measure, Act 2, Scene 2), 1794. A captivating print by James Fittler transports us to the dramatic world of Shakespearean theater in 18th century Britain. This engraving beautifully captures a pivotal moment from the play 'Measure for Measure', where Isabella confronts Angelo. In this scene, Isabella, portrayed as a strong-willed woman seated on a throne-like chair, gazes intently at Angelo standing before her. Her hand is raised in a commanding gesture while she engages in an intense dialogue with him. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between these two characters through their body language and facial expressions. Fittler's attention to detail brings out the essence of each character; Isabella exudes determination and righteousness while Angelo appears conflicted and apprehensive. The use of black and white adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the contrasting emotions conveyed by both individuals. This artwork not only showcases Fittler's artistic talent but also pays homage to William Shakespeare's enduring legacy. It serves as a reminder of the power of theater to capture human emotions and provoke thought-provoking discussions about morality and justice. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print invites viewers into an immersive experience that transcends time and place. It allows us to appreciate both Fittler's craftsmanship as well as Shakespeare's timeless storytelling.
