Scene from Faustus. Margaret Meets Faustus in the Summer House, c1870
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print takes us back to the enchanting world of Christopher Marlowe's "Faustus". The scene depicts a pivotal moment where Margaret encounters the enigmatic Faustus in a serene summer house. Created by George Cattermole for Charles Knight's edition of Shakespeare's works, this 19th-century engraving beautifully captures the essence of this timeless Elizabethan drama. The intricate details within the artwork transport us to an idyllic countryside location in 16th century England. The building itself exudes charm and tranquility, providing an intimate setting for this clandestine meeting between two iconic characters. As we observe from afar, it is evident that both Faustus and Margaret are deeply engrossed in conversation, their gestures conveying intense emotions. Through this monochrome masterpiece, we witness the fusion of literature and art as Marlowe's fictional character comes to life on paper. The print evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue surrounding these individuals who have ventured into forbidden territory seeking knowledge beyond human limits. Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's influence on Marlowe’s play is also hinted at through references to his own version of "Faust". This artistic collaboration pays homage to both playwrights while showcasing British talent during the Victorian era. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of how art can transcend time and bring stories alive across centuries. It serves as a testament to our enduring fascination with Shakespearean plays and their ability to captivate audiences throughout history.
