EDITORS COMMENTS
Prospero, Miranda, Caliban, and Ariel, 1797, by Jean Pierre Simon (1757-1814) This exquisite engraving on ivory wove paper, created by the French artist Jean Pierre Simon in 1797, captures the essence of Shakespeare's magical world in "The Tempest." The image portrays the central characters of the play: Prospero, the righteous sorcerer and Duke of Milan; Miranda, his enchanted daughter; Caliban, the malevolent and deformed island native; and Ariel, the mischievous and obedient spirit. The setting is the enchanted island where Prospero has been exiled for many years. He is depicted as a wise and powerful figure, with a stern expression and a magical staff in hand. Miranda, standing beside him, is shown as a beautiful and innocent young woman, gazing out at the vast ocean with a sense of wonder and longing. Caliban, the fearsome and grotesque figure, is shown crouching at their feet, symbolizing his subjugation to Prospero's power. Ariel, the ethereal spirit, is depicted as a graceful and delicate figure, hovering above them, ready to carry out Prospero's commands. The 18th-century British print is a testament to the enduring popularity of Shakespeare's works, which continued to captivate audiences long after his death. This engraving, with its intricate details and vivid imagery, invites the viewer to step into the magical world of "The Tempest" and experience the drama and intrigue of this classic play. This precious artwork is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, a renowned art museum and cultural institution located in the heart of the city. The museum's extensive collection of prints and drawings, including this masterpiece by Jean Pierre Simon, is a treasure trove of artistic and historical significance, showcasing the rich heritage of art from around the world.
