EDITORS COMMENTS
In this portrait, we are transported back in time to witness a remarkable moment in theatrical history. The print captures the young and talented Master Betty as he takes on the iconic role of Hamlet, standing proudly before a bust of none other than William Shakespeare himself. Painted by James Northcote between 1804-06, this oil on canvas masterpiece showcases the depth and intensity of both character and actor. With his piercing gaze and commanding presence, Master Betty embodies the essence of Hamlet's brooding nature. The juxtaposition of the youthful actor with the aged bust symbolizes a passing of the torch from one generation to another. It serves as a reminder that Shakespeare's timeless works continue to inspire and shape generations long after his departure from this world. This portrait not only celebrates an extraordinary performance but also pays homage to one of literature's greatest playwrights. It reminds us that art has no boundaries when it comes to transcending time and connecting people across centuries. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art, this painting is a testament to the enduring power of theater and its ability to captivate audiences throughout history. As we gaze upon this image, we can almost hear Master Betty reciting those famous lines: "To be or not to be. "
