EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in Shakespeare's timeless play, "A Midsummer Night's Dream". In Act II, Scene I, we are transported to the mystical realm of Oberon and Titania, the fairy king and queen. The scene unfolds amidst a nocturnal woodland setting adorned with enchanting undergrowth. The artist, Francis Danby, skillfully brings this magical world to life through watercolor, ink, gum, and graphite on paper. The delicate details showcase his mastery as he portrays Oberon and Titania engaged in a passionate quarrel. Their regal presence is juxtaposed against the thorny wilderness surrounding them. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork measuring 15.2x21 cm at the Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection in the USA, we cannot help but be drawn into their otherworldly drama. The fairies' ethereal beauty is enhanced by their surroundings - an enchanted forest teeming with mystery and wonder. Danby's interpretation of these iconic characters invites us to explore themes of love, power struggles, and magic that resonate throughout Shakespeare's work. This print serves as a reminder of the enduring allure of "A Midsummer Night's Dream" while showcasing Danby's artistic prowess. Whether you are an admirer of fine art or a lover of literature, this evocative image transports you into a realm where dreams come alive and fairies reign supreme.
