Hamletâs demand to his mother, that she hold his dead fatherâs picture in one hand, and new husband Claudioâs in the other, becomes our cue: Look Here Upon This Picture, Then On This is a weekly opportunity to compare works of art from the worldâs great gallery of homage to Shakespeareâs plays. Here, in painting after painting, artists have felt driven to recreate the enduring charisma of the Bardâs most famous characters and so celebrate the dramatic turning-points in the plays which changed lives then and have done so ever since for theatre-goers and have done so ever since for theatre-goers and readers alike. Opera and music will be featured each week too.
FROM BANQUO AT THE BANQUET TO âHAIL, KING OF SCOTLANDâ (Macbeth 2)
Having been given a ringside seat for Banquoâs big moment at Macbethâs benighted supper-table, we find the French artists relishing another visit to the witches. But will anyone dare show us Birnam Wood moving to Dunsinane? And what about Macbethâs take-away head? Delacroix, Moreau, Chassériau, Reynolds and Rossetti lead the pack.
