1819 -1895 · London, Shakespeare and Victorian painting
Ophélie, Juliette and Lady Macbeth take from Thomas Francis Dicksee the refined presence of Victorian portraits charged with drama.
Thomas Francis Dicksee was born in London in 1819 and died there in 1895. Coming from a family of artists, brother of the painter John Robert Dicksee, he trained with the portraitist and history painter Henry Perronet Briggs. He exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1841 and regularly presented his works there until the end of his life. Dicksee practiced professional portraiture, but his reputation was also based on his interpretations of Shakespeare. Ophelia appeared before the catastrophe, fragile and meditative, surrounded by floral signs and a nature that extended her interior state. Juliette appears before the catastrophe, fragile and meditative, surrounded by floral signs and a nature that extended her interior state.

Juliette on the balcony reflects the romantic expectation lady Macbeth's ideal transforms the heroine into a concentrated image of ambition and remorse. These figures do not seek literal theatrical reconstruction: costumes, jewelry, hair and skin tones bring them closer to the Victorian taste for ideal beauty and narrative psychology. At the Opera moves this same art from presence to contemporary worldly life. Dicksee also creates portraits of public figures, mayors, architects and members of the bourgeoisie. Father of Sir Frank Dicksee and Margaret Isabel Dicksee, he also transmitted to the next generation a studio culture based on drawing, portraiture and literary narrative. His work thus links Shakespeare and elegance victorian social and sensitivity. The "Thomas Francis Dicksee" selection notably compares Ophélie and Ideal Portrait of Lady Macbeth. His reading favors movement.
Dicksee paints Shakespeare as a contemporary portrait: the costume tells the story of the era, but the face concentrates the drama.
