EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, "King Lear". Published in 1886, this photogravure beautifully brings to life Act I, Scene 1 of the play. The scene depicted here showcases the masterful artistry of German painter Adolf Schmitz, who skillfully translates the dramatic intensity onto paper. In this gripping image, we witness the unraveling of King Lear's world as he divides his kingdom among his daughters. The composition exudes tension and turmoil as Lear confronts his daughters one by one. Their expressions range from feigned adoration to concealed contempt, reflecting their deceitful intentions.

From the intricate folds of clothing to the subtle nuances on each character's face, he expertly conveys their emotions and inner conflicts. This photogravure serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring narrative and Schmitz's artistic prowess.

It serves as a poignant reminder of human frailty and the consequences that arise when power becomes corrupted by greed and betrayal.
