EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable piece of art history - the printing plate for "The Tempest" created between 1870-75. Crafted from copper, this intricate plate measures 12.4x17.2 cm and is currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Arts in Minnesota, USA. Originally designed by Amand-Durand, Charles (1831-1905), this printing plate is a reproduction of Claude Gellee's famous painting "The Tempest". Inspired by William Shakespeare's renowned play, Gellee beautifully captures the essence of the tempestuous scene with his masterful brushstrokes. Intriguingly detailed, this image depicts a ship amidst turbulent waves, surrounded by barrels and other nautical elements. The copper engraving technique used to create this plate adds depth and texture to every line etched into its surface. Donated to the museum by C. G. Boerner in honor of Rachel McGarry, this French masterpiece holds significant historical value as it represents both artistic skill and literary inspiration. Its presence at the Minneapolis Institute of Arts allows visitors to appreciate not only Shakespeare's enduring influence but also the craftsmanship involved in creating such intricate prints. As you gaze upon this stunning photograph print captured by Bridgeman Images, take a moment to immerse yourself in the world depicted within it - where ships battle against raging storms and nature's forces collide with human endeavors.
