EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the timeless tale of Romeo and Juliet, as depicted by the talented artist Francesco Hayez. Created before 1881, this exquisite piece of art showcases Hayez's mastery in combining allegory and literature through his brushstrokes. In this particular scene, we witness the iconic star-crossed lovers in a moment of profound intimacy. Romeo and Juliet's faces are illuminated by soft candlelight, their expressions filled with both longing and trepidation. The delicate watercolour gouache technique employed by Hayez adds an ethereal quality to the painting, enhancing its romanticism. As we delve into this artwork, we are transported back to Shakespeare's Verona - a world where love knows no boundaries but is tragically entwined with fate. The tender embrace between Romeo and Juliet reminds us of their forbidden love that defies societal norms. Hayez's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; from the intricate folds of Juliet's dress to the subtle play of light on Romeo's face. This painting serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and ability to capture complex emotions within a single frame. Now preserved within a private collection, this remarkable piece continues to captivate viewers with its beauty and emotional depth. It stands as an enduring tribute not only to Shakespeare’s immortal words but also to Hayez’s contribution in bringing these beloved characters to life through his exceptional talent.
