EDITORS COMMENTS
In this black and white lithograph by Eugene Delacroix, we are transported to Act 5, scene 1 of Shakespeare's iconic play "Hamlet". The image depicts Hamlet and his loyal friend Horatio standing before the gravediggers as they prepare a burial site. Delacroix skillfully captures the essence of this poignant moment in literature. The composition is filled with an air of mystery and contemplation as the characters gather around a freshly dug grave. Their somber expressions hint at the weighty themes of death and mortality that permeate throughout the play. As our eyes are drawn to the center of the image, we witness a startling discovery - the skull of Yorick, a jester from Hamlet's childhood. Delacroix's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, bringing life to each character present. The lithotint technique used adds depth and texture to their faces, emphasizing their emotions and adding an element of realism. This print serves as a testament to Delacroix's mastery in capturing dramatic moments from literature through art. It invites us into Shakespeare's world while showcasing Delacroix's own artistic interpretation. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we cannot help but be reminded of our own mortality and reflect on life's fleeting nature. It stands as both a tribute to William Shakespeare’s timeless work and Eugene Delacroix’s contribution to Romanticism during the 19th century.
