EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from the renowned play "A Midsummer Night's Dream" by William Shakespeare. Created in 1832 by Francis Danby, an English painter of the Romantic era, this watercolor on paper piece measures 19.7x27.9 cm and is currently housed at Gallery Oldham in the UK. The image transports us into a mystical world filled with enchantment and mischief. In the foreground, we witness a quarrel between fairies illuminated by the soft glow of a taper and glow worm. The nocturnal setting adds to the magical ambiance as these ethereal beings engage in their mischievous activities. At the center of attention stands a child, seemingly caught up in this fantastical realm where fairies reign supreme. Surrounding them are other fairy figures, each with their own unique characteristics and expressions. We can identify Titania and Oberon, King and Queen of Fairies respectively, who play significant roles within Shakespeare's play. Their presence hints at themes of love, jealousy, and power struggles that unfold throughout "A Midsummer Night's Dream". Danby's painting skillfully captures both the whimsy and drama inherent in Shakespeare's work through his delicate brushwork and use of vibrant colors. This exquisite print serves as a reminder of how art can bring literature to life while also showcasing Danby's talent for capturing emotion within his paintings.
