"Tieck's Essay on the Boydell Shakspere Gallery" by George H. Danton is a critical analysis of the Boydell Gallery's illustrations of Shakespeare's works, written in the early 20th century. This scholarly text delves into the artistic and interpretative challenges of connecting Shakespeare's plays to visual representations, with a particular focus on how these illustrations reflect both the limitations and aspirations of their time. Danton investigates how the gallery's portrayal of Shakespeare is rooted in its historical context and assesses Tieck's arguments against the prevailing artistic methods. The opening of the essay sets the stage by providing background on the Boydell Gallery, highlighting the idealism behind its creation and the financial struggles that led to its eventual dispersion. Danton introduces Tieck's critique, noting that he argues the illustrations fail to capture Shakespeare's essence and instead reflect a somewhat superficial engagement with the literary work. Tieck's aversion to the English approach to Shakespeare is established, and Danton suggests that Tieck's analysis offers significant insights into both Shakespeare’s art and the Romantic critique of visual culture, laying a foundation for a deeper exploration of artistic interpretation and criticism.
