EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments will hum about mine ears" transports us into the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's The Tempest. Illustrated by the talented Arthur Rackham in 1926, this vibrant lithograph captures a pivotal moment from Act III: Scene II. In this scene, we witness Caliban, a monstrous creature with scaly skin and webbed feet and hands, being surrounded by ethereal nymphs. As the tempest rages around them, these mystical beings serenade Caliban with their lutes. The illustration beautifully portrays the contrast between Caliban's grotesque appearance and the delicate grace of the nymphs. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke; he masterfully brings Shakespeare's words to life through his artistry. The colors are rich and vivid, evoking an otherworldly atmosphere that draws viewers deeper into this magical realm. As we gaze upon this stunning print from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we can almost hear the haunting melodies emanating from those twangling instruments. It serves as a reminder of Shakespeare's enduring legacy and his ability to transport us to realms where imagination knows no bounds.
