EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Orlando and the Wrestler" we are transported into the world of William Shakespeare's play, "As You Like It". Created by the talented artist Daniel Maclise in the 19th century, this print captures a pivotal moment in the story. The scene depicts Orlando, one of the play's main characters, engaged in a fierce wrestling match with an imposing wrestler. The intensity is palpable as both figures strain against each other, muscles taut and faces filled with determination. Maclise masterfully brings their physicality to life through intricate details and dynamic composition. This artwork beautifully encapsulates one of the central themes of "As You Like It" – that appearances can be deceiving. Orlando may seem like an underdog facing a formidable opponent, but his inner strength shines through as he refuses to back down. This struggle symbolizes not only physical combat but also personal growth and resilience. Through its meticulous craftsmanship and evocative storytelling, this engraving invites us to reflect on our own battles in life – those moments when we face seemingly insurmountable challenges yet find within ourselves unexpected courage and tenacity. Now part of a private collection, this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate Maclise's artistic prowess while immersing ourselves in Shakespearean drama. As we gaze upon it, let us remember that sometimes our greatest triumphs arise from confronting our fears head-on - just like Orlando did on that fateful day
