EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite rectangular portrait captures the enduring enigma of the greatest writer in the English language, William Shakespeare. Born in Stratford-upon-Avon in 1564, Shakespeare's impact on literature and drama is immeasurable. He is widely regarded as the pre-eminent playwright in the history of Western literature, and his works continue to be performed more often than those of any other playwright. The portrait, signed simply as "Will Iam," bears the unmistakable mark of the Bard himself. The signature, with its distinctive "i" dipping below the line, is a testament to the authenticity of the image. Shakespeare's visage, with its piercing gaze and thoughtful expression, seems to reveal the depth of his creative genius. Shakespeare's life spanned the late 16th and early 17th centuries, a period of great change and upheaval in English history. His works, which include 39 plays, 154 sonnets, and two long narrative poems, reflect the complexities of the human condition and the tumultuous world around him. From the comedies of love and mistaken identity to the tragedies of ambition and betrayal, Shakespeare's plays continue to resonate with audiences today. This portrait, a precious relic from the past, offers a glimpse into the life of a man who has shaped the course of human history. It serves as a reminder of the power of the written word and the enduring influence of a true literary genius. Shakespeare's legacy, etched in the annals of history, continues to inspire and captivate generations of readers and audiences around the world.
