EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and enchanting color lithograph, titled "Burthen (dispersedly) Hark Hark!" is an illustration from William Shakespeare's renowned play, The Tempest. Created in 1926 by the talented artist Arthur Rackham (1867-1939), this print captures a pivotal moment from Act I: Scene II, Line 382 of the play. The scene depicts a mystical forest where Prospero, the protagonist and powerful sorcerer, stands beneath a grand tree surrounded by ethereal sprites and fairies. As they listen intently to his words, their delicate forms seem to blend seamlessly with nature itself. Rackham's masterful use of color brings these magical creatures to life; their luminous presence illuminates the entire composition. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this illustration. From the intricate patterns on the sprites' wings to the texture of bark on the ancient tree trunk, each element contributes to creating a sense of otherworldly beauty and wonder. Rackham's interpretation perfectly captures the essence of Shakespeare's timeless tale - one filled with intrigue, romance, and supernatural elements. This print serves as a testament not only to Rackham's artistic prowess but also to Shakespeare's enduring legacy. Part of the Historica Graphica Collection, this artwork transports viewers into an enchanted realm where elves dance among trees and fairies whisper secrets in hushed tones. It is truly a treasure for any admirer of both literature and art alike.
