EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph print, created by the talented Frances Brundage in 1914, brings to life the enchanting character of Countess Olivia from Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. In this romantic comedy believed to have been written around 1601-1602, the story revolves around the twins Viola and Sebastian, who are tragically separated in a shipwreck. Viola, disguised as Cesario, captures the heart of Duke Orsino, while Olivia, upon meeting Viola, falls deeply in love with her, believing her to be a man. The intrigue and confusion of gender identity are central themes in Twelfth Night, and Brundage masterfully captures the allure and mystery of Olivia in this stunning image. Dressed in elegant attire, her expressive eyes and regal posture exude a sense of longing and desire. The delicate details of her dress and the soft focus of the photograph add to the dreamlike quality of the image, transporting us to the world of Shakespeare's beloved comedy. Brundage's ability to capture the essence of Olivia's character is a testament to her artistic skill and the enduring power of Shakespeare's timeless storytelling. This photograph print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a reminder of the enduring appeal of Twelfth Night and the captivating characters that inhabit its world.
