Stephano, portrayed by Louis Calvert in The Tempest by William Shakespeare at the Theatre Royal, Birmingham. This captivating character brings a touch of mischief and humor to the play. In one scene, Stephano declares, "I'll kiss thy foot: I'll swear myself thy subject, " showcasing his loyalty and devotion. Illustrations from different eras depict Stephano's memorable moments on stage. From an illustration in 1926 to lithographs capturing scenes from The Tempest, these artworks bring Shakespeare's words to life. One such illustration shows Christ on the Mount of Olives with an angel at upper left. Though unrelated to Stephano directly, it reminds us of his unwavering commitment when he pledges allegiance. Another artwork depicts Lorenzo, Stephano, and Jessica in The Merchant Of Venice. Published in the late 19th century after a painting by William Hodges for the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery, this piece captures their interactions beautifully. The influence of Michelangelo is also evident through frescoes featuring Cumaean Sibyl and Delphic Sibyl within the Sistine Chapel. These masterpieces showcase artistic brilliance similar to that found in Shakespeare's works. Outside the realm of art lies Stephanos Skouloudis (1838-1928), a Greek diplomat and prime minister whose achievements echo beyond literature or theater but serve as a reminder that even real-life figures can embody characteristics akin to those found within fictional characters like Stephano. Shakespeare's Tempest continues to captivate audiences worldwide with its enchanting storylines and complex characters like Stephano who add depth and intrigue.
