Shakspeare. Winter's Tale, Act III. Scene III.
Painted by J.h Wright. Engrav'd by S. Middiman.
Publish'd June 4. 1794, by John & Josiah Boydell, at the Shakspeare Gallery Pall Mall, & Cheapside.
Engraving with etching, J. Whatman 1794 watermark, 500 x 630mm (19¾ x 24¾"), with large margins. Small tear in edge taped.
Attempting to return to the baby, Perdita, whom he has just abandoned on the coast of land-locked Bohemia, Antigonus is chased away by a wild animal. This action creates Shakespeare's most famous stage direction: ''Exit Antigonus, pursued by a bear''. John Boydell (1720-1804), publisher and Lord Mayor of London in 1790, began his Shakespeare Gallery to encourage British historical painting by commissioning paintings on the theme of Shakeapeare's plays from leading artists and reproducing them as high quality prints. When his gallery in Pall Mall opened in 1789 it contained 34 paintings; by the end it has nearly 170, by artists including Kauffman, Richard Westall, Thomas Stothard, George Romney, Henry Fuseli, Benjamin West, Robert Smirke, John Opie & Francesco Bartolozzi. 96 were engraved, published separately until the bound edition, ''A Collection of Prints, From Pictures Painted for the Purpose of Illustrating the Dramatic Works of Shakspeare, by the Artists of Great-Britain'' was issued in 1805. The project was over-ambitious and the cost caused the firm to go bankrupt.
