The Genius of Shakespeare - A Timeless Tribute to the Bard
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print showcases "The Genius of Shakespeare" a chromo lithograph published in 1888. Created by an anonymous English School artist from the 19th century, this masterpiece is part of a private collection. Intriguingly set against the backdrop of King Lear's fireplace, this image captures the essence of Shakespeare's literary brilliance. The pensive figure at its center seems lost in deep contemplation, perhaps dreaming up iconic scenes from Romeo and Juliet or Hamlet. With tongs and firedog nearby, it evokes a sense of inspiration that fueled Shakespeare's pen. Portraying characters like Falstaff, Macbeth, and Othello alongside their creator himself, this artwork pays homage to one of history's greatest playwrights. Its vibrant colors bring life to each character while highlighting the significance of literature in society. As we delve into this mesmerizing lithograph, we are transported back to the 19th century theater scene where Shakespeare's works were brought to life on stage. This illustration serves as a testament to his enduring legacy and influence on generations of writers. With its dreamlike quality and hints at onirism (the state between dreaming and waking), this print invites us into William Shakespeare's world—a realm filled with imagination and boundless creativity. It reminds us why he remains an icon even today—an eternal source of inspiration for dreamers everywhere.
