EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Johann Heinrich Fussli's painting "Gertrude, Hamlet and the Ghost of the Father" from 1793. Set in the 18th century, this artwork depicts a scene from Shakespeare's iconic play, Hamlet. In this haunting image, we see Gertrude, Hamlet's mother, standing alongside her son as they confront the ghostly apparition of Hamlet's deceased father. The atmosphere is filled with fear and surprise as these characters come face to face with the supernatural realm. Fuseli masterfully portrays this eerie encounter by using vivid colors and dramatic lighting that intensify the sense of unease. The ghostly figure looms over them in his armor, adding an element of mystery and foreboding to the composition. The artist skillfully captures not only their physical reactions but also their emotional turmoil. We can almost feel their fear and confusion through their expressive faces and body language. This painting serves as a testament to Fussli's talent for creating fantastical scenes that evoke strong emotions within viewers. It reminds us of Shakespeare's enduring influence on art throughout history. Displayed at Fondazione Magnani-Rocca in Parma, Italy, this work continues to captivate audiences with its timeless depiction of family dynamics intertwined with supernatural elements.
