EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a vibrant and detailed portrayal of "The Duke of Cornwall" from Shakespeare's renowned tragedy, King Lear. Created by the German School in the 19th century, this colour lithograph captures the essence of this medieval character with remarkable precision. The Duke of Cornwall is depicted in an elaborate costume, evoking the rich theatrical tradition that surrounds this iconic play. His cloak billows around him, adding a touch of drama to his regal presence on stage. The attention to detail in his attire reflects the meticulousness with which German artists approached their craft during this period. This image originates from Trachtenbilder fur die Buhne (Costumes for the Stage) by Bruno Kohler, published in Berlin in 1890. It serves as a testament to Germany's deep appreciation for English literature and theater at that time. As we gaze upon this striking representation, we are transported into the world created by William Shakespeare himself. The intensity and complexity of King Lear's story come alive through every brushstroke and color choice. Through its historical significance and artistic excellence, this print not only celebrates one man's performance but also pays homage to both German culture and European unity. It reminds us how timeless works like King Lear continue to captivate audiences across borders and generations.
