EDITORS COMMENTS
This painting, circa 1917, brings to life the ethereal spirit character of Ariel from Shakespeare's The Tempest. Depicted in the image is a visual representation of Ariel, as described in Act 5, Scene 1, where he sings, "Merrily, merrily shall I live now, Under the blossom that hangs on the bough." The lyrics from this song add a sense of joy and freedom to the character's existence. The artist has beautifully captured the otherworldly nature of Ariel, with his delicate features, wings outstretched, and a mischievous smile playing on his lips. The colours used in the painting are soft and muted, adding to the dreamlike quality of the image. This painting was originally published in a magazine, specifically in the June volume of the prestigious publication, "March of the Women," in 1917. The artist is credited as Robert Christie, though it is important to note that this is not the same Robert Christie as the well-known artist and illustrator of the same name. The image of Ariel, with its enchanting allure and mystical beauty, continues to captivate audiences and art lovers alike, over a century after its creation.
