EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Eugene Delacroix's masterpiece, "Hamlet and Polonius" created in the 1830s. The drawing, previously part of the esteemed Moreau-Nelaton collection, captures two iconic characters from William Shakespeare's renowned play "Hamlet". Delacroix's skillful pen and ink technique brings these characters to life with intricate details. In this scene, Hamlet confronts Polonius with a sword in hand, reflecting the intense emotions and conflicts within the play. The monochrome aesthetic adds depth and drama to their interaction. Delacroix masterfully portrays Hamlet as a strong-willed yet tormented man, while Polonius exudes wisdom but also vulnerability. The artwork is featured in Bernhard Degenhart's book "Europaische Handzeichnungen" (Five Hundred Years of European Drawings), published by Atlantis-Verlag Berlin-Zurich in 1943. This publication serves as a testament to the enduring impact of Delacroix's work on European art. Delacroix was an influential figure during both the 19th century Romanticism movement and early 20th-century art movements. His ability to capture raw human emotion through his drawings made him one of France's most celebrated artists. This print not only preserves an important piece of artistic history but also offers viewers a glimpse into the world of Shakespearean tragedy through visual storytelling. It serves as a reminder that great works of literature can inspire
