EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative print depicts a poignant scene from Thomas Hardy's classic novel, "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," published in 1891. The image, created by renowned German-British artist Hubert von Herkomer, captures the moment of stillness and despair in the novel, as the protagonist Tess (not depicted) lies in a dimly lit bedroom, while a man, identified as Alec D'Urberville, lies on the bed, seemingly unconscious or indifferent to the world around him. The room is sparsely furnished, with a single window revealing a view of the English countryside outside. A book lies open on a nearby table, suggesting the passage of time and the weight of knowledge bearing down on the characters. The use of chiaroscuro lighting creates an atmosphere of melancholy and introspection, as the contrast between the light and dark areas draws the viewer's attention to the figure of the man on the bed. This powerful and evocative image encapsulates the themes of love, betrayal, and the passage of time that run throughout Hardy's novel.
