EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Juliet in the Cell of Friar Lawrence" takes us back to 1867 and immerses us in a scene from Shakespeare's timeless tragedy, Romeo and Juliet. Created by artist Herbert Bourne, this colorised print beautifully captures the intensity of the original work by Edward Matthew Ward. Within the confines of a dimly lit cell, we find Juliet seeking solace and guidance from Friar Lawrence. The atmosphere is heavy with emotion as these two central characters come together against a backdrop of religious symbolism. The play of light and shadow adds depth to their expressions, highlighting their inner turmoil. The image portrays an intriguing juxtaposition between innocence and crime. Juliet stands before us, her delicate features reflecting both fear and determination as she seeks refuge from her dire circumstances. Meanwhile, Friar Lawrence points towards an unseen path forward, offering his wise counsel amidst the darkness that surrounds them. This evocative portrayal not only captures a pivotal moment in Shakespeare's play but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of his works throughout history. As we gaze upon this enchanting print, we are reminded of the profound impact that art can have on our understanding of human nature and our own capacity for love and tragedy. Through its meticulous colorisation process, this print breathes new life into an iconic scene from Romeo and Juliet while paying homage to both William Shakespeare's genius storytelling abilities and Herbert Bourne's artistic vision.
