EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print, brought to you by Mary Evans Picture Library, transports us back to the 16th century and the world of the renowned playwright and poet, William Shakespeare. The central image is a captivating portrait of Shakespeare himself, believed to be derived from the Burbage portrait, painted around 1603. With his piercing gaze and thoughtful expression, Shakespeare seems to be pondering the profound themes that would soon come to life on the London stage. Surrounding the portrait are poignant scenes from some of his most famous tragedies. In the upper left corner, we find the tragic figure of Hamlet, contemplating the ghost of his father and the injustice that has befallen his family. Below Hamlet, the tragic lovers Romeo and Juliet, from the eponymous play, are shown in a passionate embrace, their tragic fate foreshadowed by the ominous backdrop of swords and daggers. In the lower right corner, the sorrowful figure of King Lear, his face etched with grief and despair, stands amidst the chaos of his fractured kingdom. The tragic king's famous line, "O, reason not the need! O, pardon me, temptation, for I am too bold!" echoes through the ages, a testament to the timeless power of Shakespeare's words. The print also includes scenes from other tragedies, such as Macbeth and Othello, reminding us of the human capacity for ambition, jealousy, and the destructive consequences that often follow. This powerful and moving image not only pays tribute to the genius of William Shakespeare but also serves as a poignant reminder of the enduring impact of his works on literature and the human spirit. Shakespeare, born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, wrote his plays and poems during the late 16th and early 17th centuries. He passed away in 1616, leaving behind a literary legacy that continues to inspire and captivate audiences around the world.
