EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an engraving of "Othello" by Henry Courtney Selous, a renowned artist from the 19th century. The image is part of a private collection and was originally featured in "The Plays of William Shakespeare" edited by Charles and Mary Cowden Clarke. With its digitally cleaned appearance, the print brings to life one of Shakespeare's most tragic plays. In this scene, we witness the complex relationship between Othello and Desdemona, two iconic characters in English literature. Othello, a Moorish general in Venice, falls deeply in love with Desdemona, a beautiful Venetian woman. However, their love story becomes entangled with jealousy and manipulation as Iago cunningly plants seeds of doubt in Othello's mind. Selous masterfully captures the intensity and emotion within this engraving. The viewer can almost feel the tension building as Othello confronts Desdemona about her alleged infidelity. Through his meticulous attention to detail and skillful use of shading, Selous conveys the anguish on both characters' faces. This artwork not only represents an important piece of German culture but also serves as a reminder of Shakespeare's enduring influence throughout Europe. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are transported into the world created by one of history's greatest playwrights – William Shakespeare himself.
