EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration by Eleanor Fortescue-Brickdale, created for the poem "Man's Love" by William Shakespeare. Published in 1919 as part of Palgrave's Golden Treasury of Songs and Lyrics, this color lithograph beautifully captures the essence of Shakespearean love. In the image, we see a bearded man with angelic wings riding on a majestic white horse. The man is accompanied by a young child who sits behind him, symbolizing innocence and purity. As they ride through a dreamlike landscape, it becomes evident that their journey represents the timeless theme of love. The artist skillfully portrays both the vulnerability and strength found within love. The delicate colors used in this piece enhance its ethereal quality, evoking emotions that resonate deeply with viewers. Fortescue-Brickdale's attention to detail is remarkable; every stroke contributes to the overall enchanting atmosphere. Through this illustration, we are reminded of Shakespeare's profound understanding of human nature and his ability to capture complex emotions in his poetry. It serves as a visual testament to his enduring legacy as one of history's greatest poets. This rare gem from Bridgeman Images' private collection offers us an opportunity to appreciate not only Fortescue-Brickdale’s artistic talent but also Shakespeare’s timeless words that continue to touch our hearts across generations.
