EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a scene from The Two Gentlemen of Verona, a renowned play by William Shakespeare. Created in 1851 and reproduced in color around 1902, this artwork depicts Act V scene iv, where Valentine valiantly rescues Sylvia from the clutches of Proteus. The composition beautifully captures the essence of the play, with Julia disguised as a page standing on the left, Silvia at the center, and Valentine mediating between them. A remorseful Proteus can be seen expressing his love for Julia while Silvia's father, the Duke of Milan, observes alongside his followers in the background. The image reflects both artistic style and historical context. It belongs to an unknown creator but is reminiscent of Holman Hunt's work associated with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood during the 19th century. This Victorian-era painting transports viewers to a lush forest setting adorned with vibrant flora and towering trees that add depth to the scene. As part of "The Nations Pictures" this print is among Britain's finest modern paintings displayed in public galleries across Great Britain. Its inclusion highlights its significance within British art history.
