EDITORS COMMENTS
In this lithograph titled ""Are you resolved to obey me?"", artist Louis John Rhead transports us into the world of William Shakespeare's play, Pericles. The print depicts a pivotal moment in the story, as a powerful figure confronts another with an air of authority and dominance. The composition is filled with tension and intrigue, as the characters' expressions reveal their conflicting emotions. The commanding figure demands obedience from his counterpart, while the latter appears torn between loyalty and defiance. It is a scene that encapsulates themes of power dynamics and personal agency found throughout Shakespeare's works. Rhead's meticulous attention to detail shines through in this engraving, showcasing his mastery of capturing dramatic moments on paper. Every line and shadow adds depth to the characters' faces, enhancing their emotional intensity. This lithograph was originally created as an illustration for Tales from Shakespeare by Charles and Mary Lamb in 1918. It serves as a testament to how timeless Shakespeare's plays are, continuing to inspire artists across different mediums even centuries after they were written. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing print, we cannot help but ponder our own resolve when faced with authority or difficult decisions. Rhead's work reminds us of the complexities within human relationships and challenges us to reflect on our own willingness to obey or assert our independence.
