EDITORS COMMENTS
Caliban, the enslaved and misunderstood native of Shakespeare's magical island in "The Tempest," gazes out at the departing ship in this evocative 1904 painting by Charles Buchel. The final scene of the play finds Prospero, the rightful Duke of Milan, granting Caliban his freedom and sending him back to his native island. In this moment, Caliban stands alone on the rocky shore, watching as the ship that had brought him both captivity and redemption sails away into the horizon. The sea stretches out before him, its waves crashing against the sandy beach, as the sun sets over the distant waters. The island, with its lush vegetation and otherworldly beauty, is a stark contrast to the harsh, barren landscape of the shore. Caliban's expression is one of contemplation and longing, as he reflects on the journey that has brought him to this point and wonders what the future may hold. The painting, executed in the Edwardian era, captures the romanticized and mystical vision of the play, with its use of rich colors and dramatic lighting. The image of Caliban, standing alone on the shore, serves as a poignant reminder of the complexities of human nature and the power of redemption.
