EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph captures a scene from William Shakespeare's play "King John," brought to life by artist Gertrude E. Demain Hammond in the early 20th century. The illustration depicts a pivotal moment in the story where Philip discovers he is the son of King Richard, adding an element of intrigue and drama to the narrative.
Hammond's attention to detail and use of bold colours bring this historical tale to life, showcasing the complexity of royal lineage and power struggles within medieval England. The rich hues and intricate textures create a visually stunning piece that draws viewers into the world of Shakespearean drama.
As part of Thomas Carter's retelling of Shakespeare's stories of English kings, this print serves as both a visual interpretation and homage to one of literature's greatest playwrights. The combination of history, royalty, and betrayal depicted in this artwork encapsulates the essence of Shakespearean tragedy.
Through this image, we are transported back in time to witness the political machinations and personal revelations that shape King John's reign. Hammond's skillful rendering invites us to immerse ourselves in this timeless story, reminding us why Shakespeare continues to captivate audiences centuries after his works were first penned.
