EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Off off you lendings-Come unbutton Shakespeare" takes us back to the dramatic scene from King Lear, Act 3, Scene 4. Created in 1793 through etching and engraving techniques, this image measures approximately 17 3/8 x 23 5/16 inches (442 x592 cm). The talented British artist William Sharp skillfully reproduced Benjamin West's original painting for this series of engravings published by Boydell. In this intense moment captured on canvas, we witness King Lear being driven out by his heartless daughters into the merciless stormy heath. His mind is unsettled as he tears off his clothes, displaying a state of utter despair and vulnerability. In the midst of chaos, Duke Kent pleads with him to seek shelter. The Liszt Collection has beautifully preserved this artwork that was once displayed at the renowned Shakespeare Gallery in London. It serves as a powerful reminder of the timeless themes explored in Shakespeare's works – betrayal, madness, and human resilience in the face of adversity. As we gaze upon this striking print, we are transported to an era where art seamlessly merged with literature to create profound visual narratives. Let us appreciate Artokoloro's dedication in preserving such masterpieces that continue to inspire and captivate audiences centuries later.
