Zes voorstellingen uit Shakespeares Macbeth 1784

This series of six etchings by Daniel Nikolaus Chodowiecki, created in 1784, depicts scenes from Shakespeare's Macbeth. The artist, known for his illustrative work, captures the drama and tragedy of the play through detailed engravings. Each scene, from the witches' prophecy to Macbeth's final demise, is accompanied by a quote in German, adding another layer of interpretation to the artwork. These prints, housed at the Rijksmuseum, are a testament to the enduring influence of Shakespeare and the power of visual storytelling.
