EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white gravure captures the poignant moment when King Henry V rejects his once beloved companion, Falstaff. The print, created by Eduard von Grutzner in the late 19th century, beautifully depicts this scene from William Shakespeare's historical play. In this illustration from Great Men and Famous Women edited by Charles Horne, we witness the emotional turmoil on Henry V's face as he parts ways with Falstaff. The intricate details of their facial expressions reveal a complex mix of sorrow, regret, and determination. The artist's skillful use of light and shadow adds depth to the composition, emphasizing the gravity of this pivotal moment in both characters' lives. As viewers gaze upon this digitally cleaned image from a private collection, they are transported back in time to witness firsthand the end of a cherished friendship. Henry V's rejection of Falstaff symbolizes his transformation from a carefree prince into a responsible king burdened with duty. This engraving serves as a powerful reminder that even great men must make difficult choices for the greater good. Bridgeman Images presents us with an extraordinary glimpse into history through this remarkable piece of art. It allows us to appreciate not only von Grutzner's artistic talent but also Shakespeare's timeless storytelling that continues to resonate with audiences today.
