EDITORS COMMENTS
Lady Macbeth. Study, 1899" is a captivating oil painting by Danish artist Kristian Zahrtmann (1843-1917). The painting depicts Lady Macbeth, a character from William Shakespeare's famous tragedy "Macbeth." In this study, Lady Macbeth is shown standing alone, her arms outstretched, with her eyes closed. The time of day is night, and the painting is imbued with a sense of introspection and insanity. The painting is a prime example of Danish realism, a movement that sought to portray everyday life and human emotions in a raw and honest way. Zahrtmann's use of color and oil on canvas technique adds depth and texture to the image, bringing Lady Macbeth to life. The painting is part of the collection of Statens Museum for Kunst (National Gallery of Denmark) in Copenhagen. It is a powerful and evocative work of art that invites viewers to contemplate the complexities of Lady Macbeth's character and the themes of ambition, power, and madness in Shakespeare's play. The painting is a study, indicating that it is a preliminary work, likely created as a preparatory piece for a larger painting or a commission. Zahrtmann's masterful use of posture and facial expression conveys the inner turmoil and psychological depth of Lady Macbeth, making this study a standout work in the artist's oeuvre. The painting is a testament to the enduring influence of Shakespeare's works on art and culture, and a reminder of the rich artistic heritage of Denmark and the Nordic region.
