EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning mural, titled "Shakespeare's Adonis" by American artist Henry Oliver Walker (1843-1929), can be found in the hallowed halls of the Library of Congress, specifically in the Thomas Jefferson Building in Washington D.C., USA. Dated to 1920, this masterpiece is part of the Poetry Series commissioned for the Library of Congress. The mural depicts a poignant scene from William Shakespeare's poem "Venus and Adonis." In the story, the goddess Venus, enamored with the youthful and beautiful Adonis, tries to seduce him. Despite his initial resistance, Adonis eventually gives in to Venus' charms. However, his brief moment of pleasure is short-lived as he is tragically killed by a wild boar during a hunting expedition. Walker's interpretation of this tragic tale is beautifully captured in the mural. Adonis lies dead in the center, his lifeless body surrounded by mourning figures, including Venus, who cradles his head in despair. The ornate and symbolic details of the mural, from the intricate patterns on the wall to the delicate folds of the figures' robes, showcase Walker's mastery of the medium. This mural is not only a testament to Walker's artistic talent but also a significant historical artifact. It is a reminder of the rich literary heritage of the English language and the enduring influence of Shakespeare's works. A visit to the Library of Congress to see this mural in person is a must for anyone with an appreciation for art, literature, or history.
