EDITORS COMMENTS
Gloucester and Princess Anne: A Moment of Tragic Resolution in Shakespeare's Richard III This evocative watercolor painting by Ernst Josephson, titled "Gloucester and Princess Anne. Scene from Shakespeare's Richard III," captures a poignant moment from one of William Shakespeare's most renowned tragedies. The scene depicts Lord Clarence, Duke of Gloucester (played here by a bearded, somber-looking man), and his daughter, Princess Anne (a young, beautiful woman with an expression of sorrow and determination), as they share a tender moment before parting ways. In the play, Gloucester, who has been manipulated by the villainous Richard III into betraying his brother, King Edward IV, and his own family, is filled with remorse and despair. He has learned that his wife, Queen Elizabeth, and their two sons have been executed, and his youngest son, Edward, has been declared the new king. Gloucester, desperate to protect his remaining child, Princess Anne, sends her away to safety, knowing that Richard III will stop at nothing to eliminate any potential threats to his throne. Josephson masterfully captures the intense emotions of this scene through his use of color and composition. The muted tones of the painting, with their somber hues, reflect the tragic nature of the moment, while the intricate details of the characters' faces and expressions convey the depth of their emotions. The painting is a testament to the enduring power of Shakespeare's words and the ability of art to bring them to life in a visually stunning and emotionally resonant way. This painting is part of the rich artistic heritage of Sweden, and can be found in the Nationalmuseum in Stockholm. It serves as a reminder of the timeless appeal of Shakespeare's works and the continued relevance of their themes in our modern world.
