S.F. Remastered Version of Romeo and Juliet on The Balcony by Julius Kronberg
This painting is about William Shakespeare's classic play, that everyone knows, 'Romeo and Juliet;' the tragic story of young love in Italy between a couple that comes from feuding families. Shakespeare's play did not just come from his own imagination, it was based on previous literary works: firstly, a novella by Italian author Matteo Bandello, which itself was drawn from a long Italian tradition of tragic tales about young lovers. Next, Bandello's story was translated and retold as a poem, called 'The Tragical History of Romeus and Juliet,' by Arthur Brooke, which had then been retold again, as a story, by William Painter.
