EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating painting "Cordelia Disinherited" by John Rogers Herbert takes us back to the medieval era, where a somber scene unfolds. The oil on canvas print captures a pivotal moment from Shakespeare's tragedy, King Lear. Cordelia, the beloved daughter of the king, finds herself disowned and cast aside for her honesty and refusal to flatter her father like her sisters. In this stunning portrait, Cordelia is depicted in exquisite medieval costume, her fair complexion illuminated against a dark background. Her pensive expression reflects both sadness and resilience as she contemplates the consequences of standing up for what she believes in. Her golden locks cascade down her shoulders, adding an ethereal quality to the composition. The Pre-Raphaelite influence is evident in every brushstroke - from the meticulous attention to detail in Cordelia's attire to the delicate rendering of light and shadow. Displayed at the Harris Museum and Art Gallery in Preston, Lancashire, UK. , this artwork showcases Herbert's mastery of capturing emotional depth through portraiture. As we gaze upon this timeless piece, we are reminded of Cordelia's unwavering integrity and strength amidst adversity. This print serves as a poignant reminder that sometimes speaking truth can come at great personal cost but remaining true to oneself is always worth it.
