EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases "The King of France" from Shakespeare's renowned play, King Lear. Created by a German School in the 19th century, this colour lithograph is part of a private collection. The image originates from Trachtenbilder fur die Buhne (Costumes for the Stage) by Bruno Kohler, published in Berlin in 1890. In this striking portrayal, we see the majestic figure of the King of France adorned in an elaborate medieval costume. His regal presence is enhanced by a magnificent crown atop his head and a flowing cloak draped around his shoulders. Holding a sword with its scabbard at his side, he exudes strength and authority. The theatrical essence of this character is palpable as he embodies both power and vulnerability on stage. As one of the central figures in Shakespeare's tragedy, King Lear, this depiction captures the essence of French nobility within an English literary masterpiece. This print not only celebrates the enduring legacy of William Shakespeare but also highlights Germany's contribution to European culture through their interpretation and representation of iconic characters like "The King of France". It serves as a reminder that art transcends borders and unites diverse cultures under its universal language. With its rich colors and attention to detail, this image invites viewers into the world created by Shakespeare while honoring German artistic traditions. It stands as a testament to the timeless beauty found within literature and visual arts alike.
