EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving transports us back to the 19th century, where we find ourselves immersed in the world of William Shakespeare's Antony and Cleopatra. The intricate details of this print, created by an English School artist, bring to life the iconic characters and their timeless tale. Taken from a private collection, this particular engraving was part of a series called "Illustrations of Shakspeare" which consisted of 230 vignette engravings by Thompson based on designs by Thurston. Published in 1825 by Sherwood, Gilbert, And Piper; Ernest Fleischer, these illustrations aimed to capture the essence and beauty of Shakespeare's works. In this specific scene depicted in the engraving, we witness the passionate love affair between Mark Antony and Cleopatra unfold before our eyes. Their intense emotions are palpable as they engage in a tender embrace amidst opulent surroundings. The attention to detail is remarkable - from their elaborate costumes to every expression etched on their faces. The monochromatic palette adds depth and drama to the composition while allowing us to focus solely on the emotional connection between these two legendary figures. It is through art like this that we can appreciate Shakespeare's enduring influence on literature and his ability to create characters that continue to captivate audiences centuries later. Bridgeman Images has preserved this exquisite piece for us all to enjoy today through Fine Art Finder. As we gaze upon it, let us be reminded of Shakespeare's genius and how his words have
