EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Lady Macbeth Sleepwalking" transports us into the haunting world of Shakespeare's tragedy, Macbeth. Created by Artus Scheiner in the early 20th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the play. The image depicts Lady Macbeth as she sleepwalks through a dimly lit castle staircase. Clad in her nightdress, she appears both ethereal and tormented. A single candle illuminates her path while casting eerie shadows on the stone steps behind her. The atmosphere is filled with an unsettling sense of foreboding. As we gaze upon this scene, we can almost feel the weight of Lady Macbeth's guilt and madness. Her haunted expression suggests that she is caught between reality and a realm inhabited by dark forces beyond our comprehension. It is as if she is being watched by unseen eyes or tormented by invisible spirits. Intriguingly, a doctor and maid observe from afar, their presence adding to the air of mystery surrounding this enigmatic character. Lady Macbeth's sleepwalking represents not only her descent into madness but also serves as a powerful symbol for guilt and remorse. Scheiner's masterful engraving technique brings out every intricate detail of this macabre setting—each step on the staircase seems to whisper secrets from centuries past. This print invites us to delve deeper into Shakespeare's timeless tale of ambition and its devastating consequences.
