King Lear Casting Out His Daughter Cordelia
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century stipple engraving that beautifully captures the emotional intensity of Shakespeare's tragic play, King Lear. Published in 1792 and reissued in 1852, this print by Richard Earlom showcases the talent of both the artist and the engraver. The scene depicted here is from Act 1, Scene 1 of King Lear, where Lear banishes his youngest daughter Cordelia after she refuses to flatter him with false declarations of love. The anguish on their faces is palpable as Lear raises his hand in anger while Cordelia pleads for forgiveness. Henry Fuseli's masterful composition brings out the raw emotions at play, highlighting the tension between father and daughter. The intricate details captured through stippling technique add depth to each character's expression, making it an engaging visual narrative. This print serves as a testament to Boydell & Co. 's commitment to promoting British art during its time. It now resides within the esteemed collection of The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Richard Earlom's skillful craftsmanship ensures that every line and contour adds nuance to this powerful moment in Shakespearean literature. As viewers gaze upon this historic artwork, they are transported into a world filled with familial conflict and heart-wrenching choices—a timeless reminder of human nature's complexities.
