EDITORS COMMENTS
The Stage, illustration from The Vicar of Wakefield by Oliver Goldsmith, captures a moment of theatrical brilliance and surprise. In this hand-coloured aquatint by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported to the world of 19th-century English theatre. The scene unfolds in Chapter Nineteen of the novel, where Arabella Wilmot takes on the role of an actor. With her captivating performance as a fair penitent, she shocks both the characters within the play and the audience watching it. The image perfectly encapsulates this pivotal moment as Arabella's son looks on in awe while Dr Primrose himself is taken aback by his daughter's unexpected talent. Rowlandson's exquisite attention to detail brings every character to life - their expressions reflecting a range of emotions from shock to admiration. The vibrant colors used in this hand-coloured print add depth and intensity to each figure on stage. This artwork not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also highlights Goldsmith's ability to create vivid characters that resonate with readers even centuries later. It serves as a visual reminder of the power and magic that live performances hold over us all. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are reminded once again why literature and art continue to captivate our hearts and minds.
