The artwork titled “Such Stuff as Dreams are Made on – from The Tempest” was created by the artist Edmund Dulac, associated with the Art Nouveau (Modern) movement. This piece belongs to the genre of illustration and is part of the “The Tempest” series.
The artwork features an ethereal and dreamlike scene, evoking the mystical elements of Shakespeare’s play, “The Tempest.” The composition is dominated by swirling, misty forms in delicate shades of blue and gold, suggesting both the ephemeral nature of dreams and the otherworldly setting of the play. The presence of stars and celestial bodies enhances the fantastical atmosphere. The use of flowing lines and subtle coloration is characteristic of Dulac’s style, contributing to the artwork’s enchanting appearance.
