This scene from "All's Well That Ends Well" depicting Helena and Count Bertram before the King of France was part of the Boydell Shakespeare Gallery. In the Regency-era Boydell Gallery, paintings of Shakespeare scenes created by leading artists helped cement his reputation as a symbol of British brilliance, strength, and power. Our exhibition, "Imagining Shakespeare," brings together 14 of these paintings for the first time since 1805. See "Imagining Shakespeare" before it closes August 2!
