EDITORS COMMENTS
This print depicts the iconic moment from William Shakespeare's classic comedy, A Midsummer Night's Dream, where the fairy king and queen, Oberon and Titania, are depicted with their mischievous entourage of fairies, imps, and mythical beasts. The image, created by renowned English artist Charles Kirkpatrick Sharpe in the 19th century, captures the whimsical and enchanting world of these mythological creatures. Oberon, the king of the fairies, is shown wearing a flowing robe adorned with intricate patterns and a majestic mask, while Titania, his queen, is dressed in a delicate gown with a diaphanous veil. Their regal appearance is in stark contrast to the playful and mischievous imps and fairies surrounding them, some of whom are depicted as cats and other mythical creatures. The print, which is held in the Art Institute of Chicago, showcases Sharpe's exceptional drafting skills, with the fine lines and intricate details bringing the magical scene to life. The use of monochrome graphite adds to the timeless and ethereal quality of the image, transporting viewers to a world of enchantment and wonder. The print also highlights the themes of family and fatherhood, as Oberon and Titania are depicted as loving parents to their fairy children. The image is a testament to the enduring appeal of Shakespeare's works and the power of art to capture the imagination and transport us to other worlds.
