EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the iconic balcony scene from Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "Romeo and Juliet". Illustrated by Charles Martin for Femina magazine in December 1929, this color lithograph emanates a dreamlike quality that transports viewers to Verona's moonlit streets. In this enchanting depiction, Romeo and Juliet stand on opposite sides of the balcony, their faces illuminated by the soft glow of the night. Their love is palpable as they exchange longing gazes, their hearts entwined in an unbreakable bond. The delicate brushstrokes and vibrant colors bring out every emotion etched on their faces – passion, desire, and hope. The artist beautifully captures the essence of romance with his attention to detail. The intricate architecture surrounding them serves as a metaphor for societal barriers that separate these star-crossed lovers. Yet here, within this intimate moment suspended in time, Romeo and Juliet find solace in each other's arms. As we gaze upon this image today, we are reminded of William Shakespeare's enduring legacy. His words continue to resonate across centuries as he explores themes of love and sacrifice against a backdrop of feuding families. This illustration reminds us that even amidst chaos and tragedy, love has the power to transcend all boundaries. Bridgeman Images allows us to cherish this masterpiece from Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris—a testament to both artistic brilliance and eternal love found within literature's most celebrated couple: Romeo and Juliet.
