• William Shakespeare evokes different reactions in every succeeding age and culture which studies and performs him. In this paper we shall examine some British artworks and with their aid consider how British artists at different points in history have regarded Shakespeare as a man and as a dramatist, how they have explored his plays and felt they should be acted, and how they have used his stories to reflect their own times. The chief artists under discussion are the maker of the bust on Shakespeare's tomb, the painters of early portraits of Shakespeare, and various artistic interpreters of incidents and characters, and their actors, in the plays, including Zoffany, Fuseli, Blake, Maclise, the pre-Raphaelites, the Victorian fairy-painters, and the post-Victorian illustrator Arthur Rackham. There will also be a brief discussion of the reasons for the apparent decline in artworks concerned with Shakespeare since the early twentieth century.
