Tess of the D'Urbervilles
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Hardy: "As he passed them he kissed them in succession where they stood, saying 'Goodbye' to each as he did so" (1891) - Hubert von Herkomer This evocative print, titled "Tess of the D'Urbervilles" and created by Sir Hubert von Herkomer in 1891, is a poignant depiction of a scene from Thomas Hardy's novel of the same name. The image, published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," captures a moment of tender farewell between a man and several women. The scene unfolds in the countryside of England during the Victorian era. The man, dressed in the attire of a professor or a gentleman, is seen bidding adieu to a group of women, each one standing separately. As he passes by, he leans in to kiss each woman on the cheek, leaving a trail of affectionate gestures in his wake. The women, dressed in traditional Victorian attire, gaze at him with a mix of sadness and longing. The print captures the essence of Hardy's novel, which explores themes of love, marriage, and the consequences of fate. Tess Durbeyfield, the novel's protagonist, is a young woman who is forced into a marriage of convenience, only to be betrayed by her husband. The print, with its depiction of a man's farewell to several women, may be a reference to Tess's past or a foreshadowing of her future. Hubert von Herkomer's masterful use of black and white contrasts creates a sense of depth and drama, drawing the viewer into the scene. The print is a testament to the enduring power of literature to inspire art, and to the timeless nature of love and its complexities.
