EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic scene of "Juliet in the Cell of Friar Lawrence" from William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Created by renowned artist Herbert Bourne in 1870, this engraving beautifully depicts a pivotal moment in literature. In this image, we see Juliet, portrayed as a young girl dressed in period attire, confiding her fears and hopes to Friar Lawrence. The monochrome palette adds depth and intensity to the emotion conveyed on their faces. Bourne's attention to detail transports us back to 16th century England, where this tragic love story unfolds. The print is taken from Charles Knight's publication "The Works of Shakspere" which showcases Shakespearean plays through art. This particular piece exemplifies the enduring power of Shakespeare's words and characters that continue to captivate audiences even centuries later. As we gaze upon this print, we are reminded of the universal themes explored within Romeo and Juliet – love, passion, sacrifice – all set against a backdrop of feuding families. It serves as a poignant reminder that true love knows no boundaries or time periods. This artwork not only pays homage to British literature but also highlights the talent of Herbert Bourne as an accomplished artist during the 19th century. Its presence evokes a sense of nostalgia for both theatre enthusiasts and admirers of classical works alike.
