EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print transports us to Act I, Scene 2 of Shakespeare's timeless play, The Tempest. Created by an English School artist in the 19th century, this artwork is a part of a private collection and showcases the remarkable talent of Kronheim & Co. , who provided illustrations for The Complete Works of Shakespeare. In this scene, we witness Prospero, the powerful sorcerer and rightful Duke of Milan, attending to his duties on the enchanted island he now calls home. Surrounded by ethereal beauty and mystique, Prospero commands attention as he orchestrates events with his magical powers. The goddess-like figure depicted here represents Ariel, a spirit under Prospero's command. With grace and elegance exuding from her every movement, she captivates our imagination as she carries out Prospero's bidding. Meanwhile, Ferdinand - son of Alonso (the King of Naples) - enters the scene. His soulful gaze reveals both curiosity and wonderment at the enchanting airs that surround him. Little does he know that his encounter with Ariel will lead him towards love and destiny. This print not only captures a pivotal moment in The Tempest but also serves as a testament to William Shakespeare's enduring legacy in English literature. It invites us to delve into the world created by one of history's greatest playwrights while showcasing the artistic prowess behind its visual representation.
