EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Owake! what ho! Brabantio! thieves! thieves!" is a stunning portrayal of a dramatic scene from Shakespeare's Othello. Created by the talented artist Theodore Chasseriau in 1844, this etching and drypoint piece captures the moment of awakening as Brabantio shouts out in alarm at the presence of thieves.
The intricate details in this artwork bring to life the tension and urgency of the situation, with balconies framing the central figure who appears startled from his sleep. The use of light gray china paper laid down on white wove paper adds depth and texture to the composition, enhancing its overall impact.
Chasseriau's skillful rendering of characters such as Brabantio and Princess Rosetta adds an element of realism to this fictional narrative, making it feel almost tangible. The artist's attention to detail in capturing facial expressions and body language further immerses viewers into the world of Othello.
As we gaze upon this historic print, we are transported back to 19th century France where Chasseriau masterfully brought Shakespeare's timeless play to life through his artistry. This piece serves as a testament to both the enduring legacy of literature and the power of visual storytelling.
