EDITORS COMMENTS
This 1926 colour lithograph, titled "Re-enter Ariel like a water-nymph" transports us into the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Illustrated by the renowned Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), this print beautifully captures Act I: Scene II, Line 316 of the play. In this scene, we witness Ariel, a mischievous sprite and servant to the sorcerer Prospero, re-emerging from the depths of water in a mesmerizing disguise. With delicate fins adorning her ethereal form, she embodies the essence of a graceful water nymph. The vibrant colours used in this illustration bring forth an otherworldly atmosphere that perfectly complements Shakespeare's magical narrative. Rackham's attention to detail is evident as he depicts Ariel perched on a windswept tree branch amidst swirling gusts. This portrayal not only emphasizes her connection with nature but also hints at her ability to manipulate elements for Prospero's bidding. The artist masterfully captures both Ariel's playful spirit and mysterious allure through his skilful use of light and shadow. As we gaze upon this historic lithograph from Heritage Images' Historica Graphica Collection, we are transported into Shakespeare's fantastical realm where sprites roam freely and magic reigns supreme.
