EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported back in time to the streets of Venice during Shakespeare's era. The scene depicted is from Act III, Scene I of "The Merchant of Venice" one of the Bard's most renowned plays. Sir John Gilbert, a master watercolorist, brings this moment to life with his artistic prowess. We find ourselves amidst a bustling street as Salanio and Salarino encounter Shylock, a complex and controversial character. The tension between them is palpable as their paths cross on this fateful day. Each figure exudes distinct personality traits that Shakespeare so skillfully crafted. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are reminded of the power and impact of theater in Europe during the 16th century. The play itself explores themes of love, friendship, greed, justice, and prejudice – timeless topics that continue to resonate with audiences today. The format chosen by Rischgitz for this landscape composition allows us to fully immerse ourselves in the world created by Shakespeare's words and Gilbert's brushstrokes. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries or limitations when it comes to capturing the essence of human emotions. This print captures not only an iconic moment from literature but also serves as a testament to the enduring legacy left behind by William Shakespeare himself.
