DescriptionGeorge Romney - William Shakespeare - The Tempest Act I, Scene 1.jpg |
English: Act I, Scene 1 of The Tempest by William Shakespeare, in an engraving by Benjamin Smith based on a painting by George Romney. Published by J. & J. Boydell at the Shakespeare Gallery, Pall Mall & at No. 90 Cheapside.
The titular tempest wrecks the ship of King Alonso. As revealed in Act I, Scene 2, the tempest was conjured by Prospero (old man, right), who sent the spirits (seen in the upper left) to create the storm. His daughter Miranda clings to him, as she does in Scene 2, begging for the lives of those on the vessel - but Prospero assures her used his magic to prevent anyone from dying, though he will lead people to believe that others have in the events to come in the play. His brother, Antonio, who usurped his place as the Duke of Milan, is on the vessel, and it is against him he seeks revenge... Français : Gravure inspirée d'une peinture de George Romney, illustrant la première scène du premier acte de La Tempête, par Shakespeare, et publiée par J. & J. Boydell au sein de la Boydell Shakespeare Gallery. La tempête du titre fait s'échouer le navire du roi Alonso. Elle a été conjurée par Prospero (le vieil homme à droite) qui a invoqué des esprits (en haut à gauche) pour créer cet orage. Sa fille Miranda se jette à ses pieds (à la scène 2) pour qu'il épargne les vies des passagers. Mais Prospero la rassure: personne ne meurt, mais certains croiront au cours de la pièce que d'autres le sont. Son frère, Antonio, qui a usurpé son trône de Duc de Milan, est sur le bateau, et c'est contre lui que Prospero veut se venger. |
