EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures Nicolai Abraham Abildgaard's oil on canvas painting of Richard III, created in 1787. The artwork, measuring 38x28 cm, is housed at the Nasjonalmuseet in Oslo, Norway. Abildgaard masterfully depicts Shakespeare's dramatic scene from Richard III (act V, scene III), showcasing his exceptional talent as an artist. The image portrays a man engulfed in fear and turmoil. With vivid colors and meticulous brushstrokes, Abildgaard brings to life the nightmare-like atmosphere of the play. The central figure stands tall with a spear in hand, representing both power and vulnerability. His muscular physique adds intensity to the scene while emphasizing the internal struggle within him. Abildgaard's portrayal evokes a range of emotions - panic, cowardice, and cowering - as if capturing a fleeting moment frozen in time. The blurred motion surrounding the protagonist further heightens the sense of agitation and action taking place. Richard III serves as a reminder of kingship gone awry; it explores themes of power dynamics and human nature that continue to resonate today. Through this remarkable piece of artistry, Abildgaard invites viewers into an immersive experience that transcends time. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this significant artwork for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical value and artistic brilliance without mentioning any commercial use or company affiliation
