King Lear, Act I, Scene I, 1898 - A Captivating Depiction of Shakespearean Drama
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This remarkable print captures a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "King Lear". Created by the talented American artist Edwin Austin Abbey in the late 19th century, this oil painting showcases his exceptional skill and attention to detail. In this scene, we witness King Lear at the height of his power as he divides his kingdom among his three daughters. The full-length composition portrays a regal monarch surrounded by an entourage of loyal subjects. His majestic presence is further enhanced by the inclusion of two magnificent Irish Wolfhounds at his side. Abbey's use of color and light adds depth and intensity to the narrative unfolding before us. The rich hues bring out every emotion etched on the faces of those present – from Cordelia's unwavering loyalty to her father to the subtle expressions betraying greed and ambition amongst other characters. Notably, Abbey also pays homage to women in this artwork. Cordelia stands prominently amidst a sea of men, symbolizing her strength and resilience in challenging societal norms. This portrayal reflects Abbey's progressive views for that era. Today, this masterpiece can be found within the prestigious collection at The Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City. It serves as a testament to both Abbey's artistic prowess and Shakespeare's enduring legacy. As we gaze upon this image, we are transported back in time to experience firsthand one of literature's most profound
