EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "King Lear, 1890" transports us back to the enchanting world of William Shakespeare's tragic masterpiece. Created by the talented artist John Gilbert in 1890, this print captures a pivotal moment from King Lear's tumultuous journey. In this scene, we witness the aged and weary King Lear embracing his daughter Goneril. The intensity of their embrace is palpable as they stand amidst a backdrop of Celtic and Norse influences. Clad in majestic armor, Lear appears both regal and vulnerable, embodying the complexities of his character. Gilbert's illustration skillfully brings to life the emotional turmoil that permeates throughout Shakespeare's play. With meticulous attention to detail, he portrays not only the physicality but also the psychological depth of these characters. The horses depicted in this lithograph symbolize strength and power while serving as a reminder of Lear's former glory as a warrior king. Through this visual narrative, Gilbert invites us into an intimate exploration of familial relationships torn apart by betrayal and tragedy. As we gaze upon this exquisite piece from our private collection, we are reminded once again why Shakespeare's works continue to captivate audiences across centuries. This print serves as a timeless testament to both Gilbert's artistic prowess and Shakespeare's enduring legacy.
