William Shakespeare
William Shakespeare is considered one of the most successful playwrights in the history of art and poetry even though he lived between 1564-1616. It is through the popularity of Shakespeare’s works that we can recite lines such as “Cowards die many times before their deaths; the valiant never taste of death but once” or “night owl” or even “full circle”. Just these few famous lines all come from only one of his plays, “Julius Caesar”, so think how many more there are! The artistic display of Shakespeare’s image done by James Faed in 1859, depicts a true sense of what Shakespeare looked like. Alongside this design was a compilation of some of his plays.
