EDITORS COMMENTS
She Lov'd Me for the Dangers," plate three from Theodore Chasseriau's Othello series, created in 1844, is a captivating etching, engraving, and roulette on paper that brings to life a pivotal moment from William Shakespeare's classic play, "The Moor of Venice." The image depicts the titular character, Othello, played by Chasseriau, seated and deep in thought as he recounts his dangerous adventures to his beloved, Princess Rosetta, portrayed as a listening and attentive figure behind him. The French artist masterfully captures the intensity and drama of the scene, with Othello's intense gaze and the ominous shadows that surround him. The black and white contrast of the print adds to the sense of danger and intrigue, further emphasizing the perilous nature of Othello's tales. Set against a dark background, the image transports us to the world of Shakespeare's tragic hero, inviting us to explore the complexities of his character and the dangerous allure of the unknown. The Moor of Venice, a man of adventure and danger, is shown here in all his glory, sharing his tales with the woman he loves, who in turn, is captivated by his daring exploits. This stunning print, a masterpiece from the 19th century, is a must-see for any art lover, literature enthusiast, or Shakespearean scholar. The Art Institute of Chicago is fortunate to have this important work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and storytelling of Theodore Chasseriau and the enduring power of Shakespeare's timeless tales.
