EDITORS COMMENTS
This striking print depicts the renowned English actor, David Garrick (1717-1779), in the title role of William Shakespeare's tragic play, "Richard III." The image, created by the celebrated artist William Hogarth (1697-1764), dates back to 1746 and offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of eighteenth-century theatre. Garrick's portrayal of Richard III, one of Shakespeare's most iconic villains, was a groundbreaking and influential performance. He brought a new level of realism and psychological depth to the character, which helped to redefine the role and set a new standard for Shakespearean acting. This print captures the intensity and complexity of Garrick's performance, with his expressive face and powerful posture conveying the cunning and manipulative nature of the king. The historical context of the print is also noteworthy. The 1740s were a golden age for English theatre, with Garrick at the forefront of a new wave of innovation and creativity. This print reflects the growing popularity of Shakespeare's plays during this period, as well as the increasing importance of acting as an art form in its own right. Hogarth's skillful rendering of Garrick's performance adds an additional layer of interest to the image. Hogarth was one of the most influential artists of the time, known for his ability to capture the essence of human emotion and expression. His depiction of Garrick as Richard III is a testament to both the actor's artistry and the artist's own mastery of his craft. Overall, this print offers a unique and captivating glimpse into the world of eighteenth-century theatre, showcasing the talents of two of the era's most celebrated figures. It is a reminder of the enduring power of Shakespeare's plays, as well as the important role that actors and artists play in bringing them to life for new generations.
