Title |
A Midsummer Night’s Dream (Bottom and Titania) |
|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Description |
In this enchanting scene from Shakespeare’s play, the Fairy Queen Titania affectionately leans on Bottom, a weaver with a magically bestowed ass's head. Within a woodland arbour, fairies and enchanted animals surround them, evoking a harem ambience through the queen's sheer attire and Bottom's Turkish slippers. Puck, the mischievous sprite, watches with glee from behind. He arranged this peculiar union at the request of the queen's enraged husband, Oberon. Cousins expertly employed mezzotint and etching to reproduce a painting by Edwin Landseer (1802-1873). The work was originally created for Isambard Kingdom Brunel in 1851. Queen Victoria praised the work as a 'gem, beautiful, fairy-like, and graceful.' The original painting is in the National Gallery of Victoria’s collection. |
