Cassandra Raving (Shakespeare, Troilus and Cressida, Act 2, Scene 2). Artist: after George Romney (British, Beckside, Lancashire 1734-1802 Kendal, Cumbria). Dimensions: Plate: 22 9/16 × 16 1/16 in. (57.3 × 40.8 cm) Sheet: 27 13/16 × 21 15/16 in. (70.7 × 55.8 cm). Engraver: Francis Legat (British, Edinburgh 1755-1809 London). Publisher: John & Josiah Boydell (British, 1786-1804). Series/Portfolio: Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery. Subject: William Shakespeare (British, Stratford-upon-Avon 1564-1616 Stratford-upon-Avon). Date: 1795. Holding an axe, Cassandra laments the fall of Troy, which already burns behind her. Lines below read, "Cry, Trojans, cry; lend me ten thousand eyes, And I will fill them with prophetic tears." Romney created the composition for John Boydell's Shakespeare Gallery, launched in 1786 as a publishing-cum-exhibition scheme that included a new illustrated edition of the plays, sets of large and small engravings, and a gallery on London's Pall Mall where the related paintings were displayed. The latter opened in 1789 with thirty-four works, then grew to contain about one hundred and seventy before financial difficulties, caused by the extended Napoleonic blocade of European ports, forced Boydell to declare bankruptcy, and sell his collection by lottery in 1805. Museum: Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York, USA.
