EDITORS COMMENTS
She Thank'd Me," plate two from Othello, 1844 is a captivating etching and drypoint engraving on ivory china paper laid down on ivory wove paper, created by the renowned French artist Theodore Chasseriau. This masterpiece is a visual interpretation of a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's classic play, "Othello," which was first performed in the 17th century. The image portrays the Moor of Venice, Othello, and his beloved wife Desdemona in an intimate moment. Desdemona, with a look of gratitude and tenderness, thanks her husband for his love and devotion. The black and white contrast of the etching enhances the dramatic tension and emotion of the scene. Chasseriau's interpretation of Shakespeare's characters is both captivating and thought-provoking. Othello, a man of power and passion, is depicted as a strong and imposing figure, while Desdemona, the innocent and loving wife, is portrayed as a delicate and feminine figure. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to the image, making it a true work of art. This engraving is a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's literature and the ability of art to bring literary characters to life. It is a must-see for anyone with an appreciation for the drama and complexity of human relationships, as well as for those with an interest in the history of art and the works of Theodore Chasseriau. This beautiful work of art is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it is displayed for all to appreciate and enjoy. It is a reminder of the rich artistic heritage that we have inherited from the past and the importance of preserving and celebrating it for future generations.
