In this captivating illustration by Alonzo Chappel, we witness the complex relationship between King Lear and his loyal Fool. Goneril and Regan take center stage in Act I Scene I, portrayed in a stunning oil on canvas from 1902. Their cunning nature is evident as they scheme to gain control over their father's kingdom. In William Holman Hunt's "The Hireling Shepherd, " we are reminded of the consequences that arise when love is forsaken for personal gain. The painting serves as a metaphor for the characters' selfish actions throughout the play. "The Genius of Shakespeare" captures the essence of this timeless tragedy through its chromo litho depiction. It highlights Shakespeare's ability to delve deep into human emotions and explore profound themes that resonate with audiences even today. Lawrence Barrett brings King Lear to life with his powerful portrayal on stage. Theatrical make-up transforms him into a regal yet tormented figure, showcasing both vulnerability and strength. Engravings from Act IV Scene VI and Act III Scene IV offer glimpses into pivotal moments within the play. These scenes depict Lear's descent into madness as he grapples with betrayal from those closest to him. David Garrick immortalizes himself as King Lear in Richard Westall's artwork from c. 1815. His intense gaze reflects the character's internal turmoil while capturing Garrick’s legendary performance style. Edmund emerges as a conniving antagonist through vibrant color lithography inspired by Shakespeare’s text. This image captures his manipulative nature perfectly – an embodiment of deceit lurking beneath a charming facade. Regan exudes her own brand of treachery in another colorful lithograph representation.
