EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Hamlet Attempts Kill King" is a remarkable piece of art created by the renowned French artist Eugene Delacroix. Produced between 1834 and 1843, this print belongs to the first state of the series dedicated to Shakespeare's tragic play, Hamlet. Delacroix's artistic genius shines through in this image, measuring approximately 10 3/8 x 7 1/16 inches (26.3 x 17.9 cm). The lithograph vividly captures a pivotal moment in the play when Hamlet contemplates killing his uncle and king, Claudius. Through his masterful use of light and shadow, Delacroix creates a moody atmosphere that mirrors the troubled psyche of the prince. This particular scene was carefully chosen by the artist from key moments and poetic passages in Shakespeare's work to convey Hamlet's internal struggle. The highly personal touch given by Delacroix makes these dramatic images truly exceptional. It is no wonder that this unusual collection garnered significant interest throughout France during its time as it showcased how Shakespearean themes developed within nineteenth-century art. Displayed prominently at Artokoloro, this exquisite lithograph invites viewers into an immersive experience where they can delve deeper into both Delacroix's interpretation of Hamlet and their own understanding of one of literature's most complex characters.
