Description: | Portia is the main female character in William Shakespeare's play 'The Merchant of Venice'. In the play, Portia not only succeeds in marrying the man she loves, but also saves her husband's friend from death. Much of the action revolves around letters. The background scene is Venice, where Henry Woods lived from 1876. The bright colours and literary subject are similar to the style and content of pictures by Pre-Raphaelite artists of this period. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East art movement art women | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
