EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment in the renowned play "King Lear" by William Shakespeare. Painted by Edwin Austin Abbey in 1902, this oil on canvas artwork showcases Goneril and Regan, two complex characters from Act I Scene I. The painting depicts the daughters of King Lear dressed in exquisite medieval costumes, evoking a sense of royalty and grandeur. The attention to detail is evident as their rich attire reflects the Victorian era's influence on theater productions during that time. Abbey, an American artist and Royal Academician, skillfully brings these Shakespearean princesses to life through his pre-Raphaelite style. His mastery of capturing emotions shines through as we witness the cunning nature hidden beneath their regal exteriors. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece, we are transported back to Renaissance England where Shakespeare's genius unfolds on stage. The characters' expressions hint at the treachery and deceit that will unfold throughout the play. Displayed at Yale University Art Gallery in New Haven, CT, USA, this painting serves as a testament to both Abbey's artistic prowess and Shakespeare's enduring legacy. It reminds us of the timeless power of theater and literature to captivate audiences across generations. Through Bridgeman Images' preservation efforts, this remarkable artwork continues to inspire admiration for its historical significance while inviting viewers into the enchanting world of "King Lear.
