EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Ariel as a harpy, beautifully illustrated by Paul Vincent Woodroffe in 1908. The vivid colors of this lithograph bring to life the magical world of Shakespeare's play, The Tempest. Woodroffe's attention to detail and artistic skill is evident in every brushstroke, capturing the essence of Ariel's transformation into a mystical creature. The image transports us to the tempestuous island where Prospero, a powerful wizard banished from his kingdom, seeks revenge on those who wronged him. As we gaze upon Ariel as a harpy, we can almost feel the storm brewing around us and sense the tension between characters. In this scene, Ariel takes on the form of a harpy to torment King Alonzo and his companions from Naples. With her wings spread wide and talons ready to strike, she embodies both beauty and danger. This illustration perfectly captures Ariel's dual nature - ethereal yet fierce. Woodroffe's interpretation invites us into Shakespeare's world filled with intrigue, magic, betrayal, and redemption. It serves as a visual reminder of the timeless power that literature holds over our imaginations. As we admire this stunning artwork from Woodroffe’s private collection through Bridgeman Images' lens, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare’s works continue to captivate audiences centuries later – they transcend time and space with their universal themes and enduring beauty.
