EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to a pivotal scene in Shakespeare's play, "King Richard III". Act 3. Scene 4 unfolds within the confines of a room in the Tower of London, where Gloucester, Buckingham, Stanley, and Hastings engage in an intense conversation. The artist Anker Smith skillfully captures the essence of this dramatic encounter. The monochrome image transports us to the 18th century, immersing us in a world of royalty and intrigue. The towering walls of the castle create an imposing backdrop for this clandestine meeting. Each character is depicted with meticulous detail, showcasing their aristocratic attire and regal bearing. Duke Richard III stands at the center of attention, his commanding presence evident even in this static portrayal. Surrounding him are his loyal confidants: Duke of Buckingham, Earl of Derby (Stanley), and Hastings. Their expressions reveal a mix of loyalty and trepidation as they engage with their king. This print is part of John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery collection from Pall Mall in London during 1795. It pays homage to Richard Westall's original work while adding its own unique interpretation through Anker Smith's engraving skills. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are transported into one particular moment that encapsulates power struggles and political machinations within medieval England—a testament to both Shakespeare's timeless storytelling and the artistic talent that brings it to life on paper.
