EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "King Lear and Cordelia" transports us to the tragic world of Shakespeare's renowned play. Created by Marcus Stone in the late 19th century, this print captures a pivotal scene between King Lear and his beloved daughter Cordelia. The image depicts an emotionally charged moment as Lear clings desperately to Cordelia's hand, their faces filled with anguish and sorrow. The intricate details of their expressions convey the depth of their bond and the heart-wrenching pain they are experiencing. Stone's skillful use of light and shadow adds a dramatic touch to the composition, emphasizing the turmoil within both characters. The delicate lines of W Ridgway's engraving beautifully translate Stone's original painting into this stunning print. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of the timeless themes explored in Shakespearean literature – familial love, betrayal, madness, and redemption. It serves as a visual testament to the enduring power of these plays that continue to captivate audiences centuries later. This particular engraving is part of a private collection belonging to Bernard Platman Antiquarian Collection. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows us access into its historical significance and artistic value. Let it serve as an invitation for us all to delve deeper into Shakespeare's works and appreciate how they have shaped our literary landscape throughout history.
