EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Jacques and the Wounded Stag (Shakespeare, As You Like It, Act 2, Scene 1), 1830" captures a mesmerizing moment from one of Shakespeare's most beloved plays. Created by David Lucas in the 19th century, this black and white mezzotint touched with white chalk brings to life the poignant scene where Jacques encounters a wounded stag in the forest. In this image, we see Jacques, portrayed as a thoughtful and contemplative man amidst nature's beauty. The stag stands gracefully beside him, its injured state evoking both sympathy and admiration for its resilience. The artist skillfully portrays the delicate balance between man and animal within their shared environment. Lucas' attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his mezzotint technique. From the flowing river that reflects light onto their figures to the dense foliage surrounding them, each element contributes to an immersive landscape that transports viewers into Shakespeare's world. This exquisite print showcases not only Lucas' artistic mastery but also pays homage to William Shakespeare's timeless literature. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and bring stories alive through visual representation. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their heritage collection, this proof before published state offers us a glimpse into history while reminding us of our connection with nature and literature.
