Description: | For this work, the artist has employed a loose manner of painting; his broad brushstrokes and the dark colours used create an almost abstract work. The body of Polonius, shown lying in a pool of blood at the bottom of the image, is barely recognisable. No finished work of this subject by Meissonier appears to be known. | Subjects: | Polonius) Hamlet literature (Shakespeare | Source: | Vads | Creator: | Artist: Meissonier, Jean Louis Ernest (French painter, printmaker, and sculptor, 1815-1891) Æ | Identifier: | http://www.vads.ac.uk/large.php?uid=8714... | Go to resource |
