EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the art of theatrical make-up, specifically depicting the iconic character Falstaff. Created by Cavendish Morton, a renowned artist from the late 19th to early 20th century, this image is part of a private collection. Falstaff, a beloved figure in Shakespearean literature, comes to life through Morton's skillful application of make-up. The intricate details on his face bring out the essence of this larger-than-life character known for his wit and jovial nature. This photograph serves as an illustration for Morton's book "The Art of Theatrical Make-up" published in 1909 by A&C Black. Morton's self-portrait captures not only his talent as an artist but also his deep understanding of stagecraft. Through careful manipulation of colors and shadows, he transforms himself into Falstaff with remarkable accuracy. This portrayal highlights the transformative power that make-up holds within the realm of performance art. As we gaze at this mesmerizing image, we are transported back in time to witness the magic that unfolds on stage. We can almost hear Falstaff's boisterous laughter echoing through the theater halls as he captivates audiences with his larger-than-life presence. This photograph is a testament to both historical significance and artistic mastery; it encapsulates not only a moment in theatrical history but also reminds us of the enduring power that characters like Falstaff hold over our imaginations.
