Gouache Painting by Jane Daniell
But, soft! what light through yonder window breaks?
It is the east, and Juliet is the sun.
Arise, fair sun, and kill the envious moon,
Who is already sick and pale with grief,
That thou, her maid, art far more fair than she.
Be not her maid, since she is envious;
Her vestal livery is but sick and green
And none but fools do wear it; cast it off.
It is my lady, O, it is my love!
Shakespeare 'Romeo and Juliet' Act 2 Scene 2
Jane Daniell has illustrated several of Shakespeare's plays, and her images have been sold at the Globe, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the National Theatre and several international venues. Theatre and drama have always been a strong source of inspiration, and Jane tries to express in her work the magical and the impossible in the way it is often conveyed in contemporary immersive theatre productions, especially through the eyes of a child.
