Ariel on a Bat's Back | Henry Singleton | 1819

The painting presented here captures Ariel, the enchanting spirit from Shakespeare's renowned play, The Tempest. Originally displayed alongside verses from Ariel's final song, the painting vividly portrays the character's flight on a bat's back, symbolizing the joyful transition beyond summer. Singleton, the artist behind this captivating work, chose to depict this entertaining and theatrical theme in response to the prevailing preferences of the era.
