EDITORS COMMENTS
A Portrait of Gratiano from Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice (Act I, Scene ii) This exquisite print captures the essence of Gratiano, a dear friend of Antonio and Bassanio in William Shakespeare's classic play, Merchant of Venice. Gratiano, a merchant and soldier, is known for his quick wit, loyalty, and impulsiveness. In this scene, he is depicted in deep thought, perhaps pondering the complex web of relationships and obligations that entangle the characters in the play. Set against a backdrop of the bustling city of Venice, Gratiano's portrait offers a glimpse into the world of this intriguing character. His attire reflects his status as a merchant, with a richly embroidered doublet and a fine fur-trimmed cloak. His intense gaze and furrowed brow suggest a man deeply engaged in thought, or perhaps in the midst of a passionate argument. The Merchant of Venice, first performed in the late 16th century, is a complex and enduring work of literature that explores themes of love, friendship, betrayal, and justice. Gratiano's character adds depth and nuance to the story, providing moments of levity and humor amidst the play's more serious themes. This print, from Mary Evans Prints Online, offers a captivating glimpse into the world of Shakespeare's Merchant of Venice and the intriguing character of Gratiano. A must-have for any Shakespearean scholar, theatre enthusiast, or art collector, this print is a beautiful addition to any home or office.
