EDITORS COMMENTS
Imogen, portrayed by the renowned artist H.G. Schmalz in this evocative 1888 print, captures the enigmatic and resilient spirit of the Shakespearian heroine from Cymbeline. With her expressive profile and piercing gaze, Imogen embodies the strength and determination of a woman who defies societal norms and expectations. Dressed in the elaborate attire of the medieval period, the intricate details of her costume add depth and texture to the image, transporting us back in time to the world of Cymbeline. The cross-dressing Imogen, disguised as a man to protect herself and her beloved, clutches a dagger, a symbol of her courage and her readiness to defend herself and those she loves. The graphic style of Schmalz's artwork highlights the dramatic elements of the play, with bold lines and deep shadows creating a sense of intensity and emotion. The use of a monochromatic color palette adds to the timeless quality of the image, making it a captivating and enduring representation of one of Shakespeare's most beloved heroines. Imogen's story, filled with love, betrayal, and redemption, continues to resonate with audiences today, and this stunning print serves as a testament to her enduring appeal. A must-have for any Shakespearean or art enthusiast, this print is a beautiful addition to any collection, evoking the romance and drama of the late 1800s and the world of the Victorian theatre.
