EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Owake! what ho! Brabantio! thieves! thieves!" from Othello by Theodore Chasseriau, transports us back to the drama and intrigue of 19th century literature. The etching engraving on ivory china paper captures a pivotal moment in Shakespeare's play, as Brabantio is rudely awakened to the news of his daughter Desdemona's elopement with Othello.
The detailed illustration showcases the tension and emotion of the scene, with Brabantio shouting out in alarm at the perceived crime that has been committed. The architectural features of balconies add depth and perspective to the composition, drawing us into the world of betrayal and deception.
Chasseriau's skillful rendering of characters like Othello and Princess Rosetta brings them to life on paper, making this print a true work of art. The heritage artistry displayed in this piece reflects both French artistic tradition and Shakespearean storytelling.
As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored in Othello - love, jealousy, power dynamics - all brought vividly to life through Chasseriau's masterful interpretation. This print is not just a visual representation but a gateway into a world where passion and tragedy collide with unforgettable consequences.
