King Lear Weeping Over The Dead Body Of Cordelia
James Barry
Well...that was painted in 1788. I love the look of Lear...old and stunned by events and maybe reflecting on his own role in the tragedy unfolding around him.
John Brown
John Steuart Curry
This was painted in 1939, and amazingly, the model that Barry used for Lear and Curry used for John Brown has miraculously gotten younger, and his hair isn't as gray! Or he dyed it, which is sort of embarrassing.
