EDITORS COMMENTS
Courtesy of Mrs. J. C. Robinson/Pollinger Ltd/Mary Evans Picture Library, this illustration brings to life the melancholic scene from William Shakespeare's beloved comedy, Twelfth Night, Act II Scene iv. The image, created by the renowned English illustrator, William Heath Robinson, in 1947, transports us to the grand banquet hall of Duke Orsino. Here, the clown Feste serenades the mournful crowd with a poignant love song. The illustration's rich detail and vibrant colors evoke the opulence and grandeur of the Elizabethan era. The centerpiece of the scene is a magnificent fountain, its arched design framing the entrance to the banquet hall. The table, laden with an array of sumptuous foods, is surrounded by elegantly dressed guests, their faces etched with expressions of sorrow and longing. At the heart of the scene, Feste, the clown, stands before the crowd, his face a mask of sadness as he strums his lute and sings a heartfelt love ballad. The contrast between the joyous music and the somber mood of the scene adds an intriguing layer of complexity to this memorable moment from the play. The illustration's dark background and intricate details, such as the archway and the intricate costumes, further highlight the historical significance of this scene and the richness of Shakespeare's Twelfth Night. This image is a testament to William Heath Robinson's masterful ability to bring literary classics to life through his art.
