EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph captures the essence of Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "King Lear" as it unfolds on the grand stage of London's Lyceum Theatre. Created by Amedee Forestier in 1892, this print transports us back to a time when theater was at its pinnacle and Shakespearean plays were revered. The scene depicted is one of great intensity and emotion. King Lear, portrayed with majestic poise and regality, stands center stage while delivering his powerful monologue. His tongue spews forth words that are both profound and unnatural, reflecting the turmoil within his mind. The weight of his decisions hangs heavily upon him as he grapples with the consequences of dividing his kingdom amongst his daughters. Surrounding Lear are characters who add depth to this tragic tale. Cordelia, loyal yet rejected daughter, gazes upon her father with sorrowful eyes filled with love unrequited. Hags lurk in the shadows like fiends ready to pounce on their prey. And Edgar, disguised as a beggar but possessing noble intentions, beseeches heaven for mercy amidst this chaos. The Lyceum Theatre provides an opulent backdrop for this dramatic performance - its ornate architecture serving as a testament to London's rich theatrical history. As we gaze upon this lithograph from our private collection today, we cannot help but be transported into the world of William Shakespeare where kings fall from grace and humanity is laid bare before our very eyes.
