EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Duke York Twelve Characters Shakespeare March 15" takes us back to the year 1776, showcasing an exquisite etching by British artist John Hamilton Mortimer. Measuring at 15 3/4 x 12 3/8 inches (40 x 31.5 cm), this piece is a testament to Mortimer's talent and his admiration for Salvator Rosa. Mortimer was known for his ability to absorb aspects of dramatic style from artists like Rosa and translate them into his own unique British equivalents. In this particular etching, he focuses on twelve leading Shakespearean characters, based on drawings that were exhibited by the Society of Artists in London in 1775. The series dedicated to these iconic figures demonstrates Mortimer's deep appreciation for Shakespeare's work and his desire to bring these characters to life through art. Each character is meticulously portrayed with great attention to detail, capturing their essence and personality. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into the world of Shakespearean drama, where tragedy meets comedy and passion intertwines with betrayal. It serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of these literary masterpieces and their enduring influence on art throughout history. This remarkable etching from John Hamilton Mortimer allows us to appreciate both his artistic skill and his profound love for Shakespearean subjects. It stands as a testament not only to the genius of Mortimer but also to the everlasting power of William Shakespeare's works.
