James Barry (Irish, 1741 - 1806), King Lear and Cordelia, 1776/ca. 1790, Etching with engraving in black ink on laid paper. Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, University of Notre Dame. Terry and Margaret Stent Fund, 2015.001.001When Artists Meet Shakespeare It was in 1709 when the first encounters between artists and Shakespeare plays began. Initially, the images were illustrations for editions. Later, they started to separate from the texts, showing actors in performance and then scenes from the plays re-imagined by artists without reference to performance. This gallery stroll will look at multiple works in the Raclin Murphy Museum of Art, but will especially highlight the prints of King Lear and Cordelia by eighteenth-century Irish artist, James Barry, in order to see the range that such encounters between Shakespeare and artists have generated and to consider the artistic afterlives of some of Shakespeare's most famous plays. Peter Holland is the McMeel Family Professor in Shakespeare Studies in the Department of Film, Television and Theatre, Notre Dame. His current research project is an edition of King Lear for the Arden Shakespeare 4th series, the world's premier scholarly edition, for which he also serves as one of the three general editors. Meet at the Welcome Desk. All are welcome and no registration is required. Gallery stools are available. Originally published at raclinmurphymuseum.nd.edu.

Parking is available in the Visitor Lot immediately north of the Sculpture Park for a fee during the week (before 4:30 p.m.). Free two-hour parking is available in the Eddy Street Commons Parking Garage or along Angela Blvd. After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, parking is free and available in any non-gated lot.
