EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithograph transports us to the mystical world of Shakespeare's "The Tempest". In this scene from Act 3, Scene 3, we witness Alonso, the King of Naples, and his courtship shipwrecked on Prospero's enchanted island. The courtiers stand in awe as they observe an array of fairies, goblins, and peculiar creatures busily preparing a magnificent banquet. At the center-back stands Prospero himself, invisible to mortal eyes but orchestrating every detail with his magical powers. Designed by Robert Dudley for an edition of Shakespeare's works published between 1856 and 1858, this print captures the essence of drama and magic that defines "The Tempest". The play was first performed around 1611 during the reign of King James I in England. Through this artwork, we are transported into a realm where reality blends seamlessly with fantasy. The British theatre comes alive as strange creatures mingle with human beings under the watchful eye of Prospero. This image serves as a testament to both Shakespeare's enduring literary legacy and Dudley's artistic talent. As we gaze upon this enchanting scene filled with wonderment and intrigue, it reminds us that literature has the power to transport us beyond our everyday lives into realms where anything is possible. It invites us to explore the depths of imagination while appreciating the timeless beauty found within classic works such as "The Tempest. "
