EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled ""While you do here snoring lie", illustration from The Tempest" transports us into the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's renowned play. Created by the talented artist Paul Vincent Woodroffe in 1908, this colour lithograph captures a pivotal moment in The Tempest. In this scene, we witness an intriguing mix of characters amidst a tempestuous storm on a mysterious island. The central figure is Prospero, the exiled Duke of Milan and powerful sorcerer. His commanding presence is accentuated by his elaborate costume, which hints at his magical abilities and wisdom. Surrounding Prospero are other key players in the story: Miranda, his innocent daughter who discovers love for the first time; Caliban, a wild and deformed creature representing nature's untamed forces; and Antonio, Prospero's treacherous brother who usurped him as Duke. The composition skillfully conveys both tension and intrigue through its use of dramatic lighting and dynamic poses. It immerses viewers into Shakespeare's fantastical realm where witchcraft meets political power struggles. Woodroffe's attention to detail brings each character to life with expressive faces that reveal their inner thoughts and emotions. This evocative print serves as a visual gateway into one of Shakespeare's most beloved works – inviting us to explore themes of betrayal, forgiveness, magic, and redemption. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' Private Collection, we are reminded once
