EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from Arthur Rackham's illustration of William Shakespeare's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" transports us into the enchanting world of the play. The scene depicted is Act 3, Scene 2, where Helena and Demetrius find themselves in an enchanted forest filled with magic and mischief. The image showcases a moment of tranquility amidst the chaos. Helena gently applies a remedy to Demetrius' eye as he lies peacefully on the ground, sound asleep. This act symbolizes her desperate attempt to win his love and affection. The colors used in this lithograph bring out the dreamlike quality of the scene, adding to its ethereal charm. Rackham's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; each character comes alive with their distinct expressions and personalities. Puck, one of Shakespeare's most mischievous characters, lurks nearby, observing this tender moment with amusement. This print captures both the whimsical nature and complex emotions that lie at the heart of Shakespearean plays. It serves as a reminder that even within fantastical realms, human desires for love and acceptance remain universal themes. As we gaze upon this artwork from our private collection today, it continues to evoke wonderment about how timeless stories like "A Midsummer Night's Dream" can still captivate audiences across centuries.
