April 23: 莎士比亞，J M W Turner. St George's Day

出生

Shakespeare was (supposedly) born #onthisday in 1564, and died #onthisday in 1616. One of the most influential writers in the history of the English language – or any language – Shakespeare’s works are still celebrated today. This engraving was made by Martin Droeshout for the First Folio, published in 1623. It’s one of only two portraits of Shakespeare that can lay a claim to authenticity, even though it’s a crude likeness completed by a young artist. http://ow.ly/2mnP30aZkW5
Shakespeare’s Sonnet 116 is engraved on this bracelet, available from our online shop: http://ow.ly/tHJQ30b3cOz






Happy Birthday William Shakespeare!

Take a look at "Keelmen Heaving in Coals by Moonlight." Here Turner brings the great force of his romantic genius to a common scene of working–class men at hard labor.
What do you notice first? An almost palpable flood of moonlight breaks through the clouds. The light spans the banks of the channel and illuminates the sky and the water. Gradations of light create a powerful, swirling vortex. The heavy impasto of the moon's reflection on the unbroken expanse of water rivals t⋯⋯
