EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the iconic character of Robin Goodfellow, also known as Puck, from Shakespeare's play "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Painted by Johann Heinrich Fussli (Fuseli) between 1787 and 1790, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 106x82 cm and is housed in the Museum zu Allerheiligen in Schaffhausen, Switzerland. In this enchanting artwork, Puck is depicted with his mischievous grin and playful demeanor. The artist skillfully captures the essence of this fictional sprite who roams through forests causing chaos and confusion. With a body that appears to be partially naked, Fussli emphasizes Puck's connection to nature and his freedom within it. The painting exudes an otherworldly atmosphere as Puck stands amidst a dense forest backdrop. This ethereal setting perfectly complements the magical elements present in Shakespeare's play. It serves as a reminder of how literature can transport us into fantastical realms where anything is possible. Beyond its literary significance, this artwork has become an important part of British art history. Fussli's portrayal of Puck has inspired countless adaptations in ballets, theaters, operas, and other forms of artistic expression throughout the years. As we gaze upon this remarkable image captured by eFine Art Images for Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of William Shakespeare's enduring influence on both literature and visual arts.
