EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of betrayal and deception in this illustration from The Tempest. Created by Paul Vincent Woodroffe in 1908, the image transports us to a tempestuous storm on a mysterious island. The vivid colors and intricate details bring Shakespeare's characters to life. We see Prospero, the powerful wizard and rightful Duke of Milan, standing tall amidst the chaos. His commanding presence is juxtaposed with the fragile figure of Miranda, his daughter who has been banished alongside him. Intriguingly, we catch glimpses of other key players in this tale of magic and revenge. The witch Sycorax lurks in the shadows while King Alonzo of Naples appears bewildered by his surroundings. Antonio, Prospero's treacherous brother, stands nearby with an air of cunning deceit. Woodroffe's skillful brushstrokes transport us into this fantastical world where loyalty is tested and alliances are shattered. As viewers, we are drawn into the emotional turmoil that unfolds within these pages. This print serves as a reminder not only of Shakespeare's enduring genius but also our own capacity for duplicity and redemption. It invites us to reflect on our own roles within complex webs of relationships and power dynamics. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us ponder how easily trust can be broken when faced with adversity or temptation – just as it was for these characters caught up in
