"King of the Bohemians" Sadakichi Hartmanns (1866-1944) first foray into art criticism explores the influence of William Shakespeares works on the visual arts. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part providing a detailed analysis of the ways in which Shakespeares plays have been depicted in paintings, sculptures, and other forms of visual art throughout history. The second part examines the ways in which Shakespeares themes and characters have influenced the artistic styles of various artists, such as the Pre-Raphaelites and the Symbolists. He provides a wealth of information on the artists who have been inspired by Shakespeare, including the likes of William Blake, John Everett Millais, and Dante Gabriel Rossetti.
