EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in history, depicting the infamous King Richard III at the Battle of Bosworth. The image showcases the talent and artistry of John Atkinson Grimshaw, whose color lithography brings this scene to life. In this dramatic portrayal, King Richard III stands tall and resolute amidst a field strewn with fallen soldiers. His piercing gaze reflects both determination and frustration as he laments his inability to locate his adversary, Richmond. With an air of melancholy, he utters the haunting words that echo through time: "I think there be six Richmonds in the field: five have I slain today, instead of him". The attention to detail is impeccable; every element from costumes to weaponry transports us back to this historic battlefield. The vibrant red roses scattered throughout symbolize not only the Wars of Roses but also serve as a reminder of Shakespeare's enduring connection between power and nature. Grimshaw's artwork not only pays homage to William Shakespeare's tragedy "Richard III" but also serves as a testament to his own mastery as an artist. This piece seamlessly blends elements from theater, war, botany, natural history, and science into one captivating composition. As we gaze upon this remarkable print from our private collection, we are reminded once again of Shakespeare's timeless ability to capture human emotions within historical contexts while celebrating artistic excellence across various disciplines.
