Tess of the D'Urbervilles
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Hardy: "The Plantation Wherein She Had Taken Shelter," 1891 This evocative photograph, titled "Tess of the D'Urbervilles: The Plantation Wherein She Had Taken Shelter," was created by renowned British artist Sir Hubert von Herkomer in 1891. The image was published in "The Graphic: An Illustrated Weekly Newspaper," Volume 44, July to December, 1891. The photograph depicts a woodland scene, with a winding path leading the eye through a dense, verdant forest. At the heart of the image, a woman, believed to be the character Tess Durbeyfield from Thomas Hardy's novel "Tess of the D'Urbervilles," takes shelter beneath the protective branches of an ancient oak tree. The plantation runs down at this spot into a peak, creating a sense of enclosure and safety. The image captures the essence of the novel's themes of nature, isolation, and the harsh realities of rural life in 19th century England. Tess, a young and innocent country girl, is often forced to seek refuge in the woods, away from the cruelty and hardships of her world. The photograph perfectly encapsulates her sense of longing for the beauty and solace of nature. Hubert von Herkomer's masterful use of light and shadow, combined with his keen attention to detail, brings the scene to life. The intricacies of the woodland foliage, the texture of Tess's clothing, and the delicate play of light on her face all contribute to a vivid and immersive portrayal of this classic literary character. This photograph is a testament to the power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to illuminate the depth and complexity of a beloved work of literature. It remains a captivating and enduring image, a visual representation of the timeless beauty and resilience of the human spirit.
