EDITORS COMMENTS
Shakespeare's Cliff, Dover" is a captivating watercolour drawing by the renowned Irish artist James Moore (1819-1883). This exquisite work of art depicts the iconic white cliffs of Dover, located in the English county of Kent, as seen from Shakespeare Beach. The drawing captures the raw beauty and power of nature, with the towering cliffs standing proud against the vast expanse of the English Channel. The intricate details of the drawing are truly remarkable. The undulating waves of the sea crash against the base of the cliffs, creating a sense of movement and energy. The cliffs themselves are depicted with great precision, with each layer of rock and crevice rendered in meticulous detail. The artist's use of light and shadow adds depth and texture to the scene, making it come alive. The title "Shakespeare's Cliff" is believed to have been given due to the association of the cliffs with the famous playwright, as Dover was believed to be the location of the scene in Shakespeare's "King Lear" where Gloucester falls from the cliff. However, there is no historical evidence to support this claim. James Moore was a prolific artist, known for his detailed and accurate drawings of landscapes and seascapes. He was particularly drawn to the coastline of Ireland and England, and his works often featured the rugged beauty of the sea and cliffs. "Shakespeare's Cliff, Dover" is a testament to his skill and passion for capturing the natural world on paper. This watercolour drawing is a beautiful and evocative representation of the natural wonder that is the white cliffs of Dover. It invites the viewer to imagine the sound of the crashing waves, the salty sea air, and the feeling of standing at the edge of the cliff, looking out to sea. It is a timeless piece that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
