James Northcote—a former student of Sir Joshua Reynolds’—painted Romeo and Juliet, Act 5, Scene 3, in 1790.

The work depicts a moment that productions often skip, probably for dramatic tension.

In Romeo and Juliet, between Romeo’s death and Juliet’s, Friar Laurence pops his head in. You can imagine why the interchange is frequently dropped; separating the lovers’ speeches with

“Come, I’ll dispose of thee Among a sisterhood of holy nuns”

seems, to modern ears at least, a little anticlimactic (Act V, Scene 3, lines 156–157).

Here, though, Northcote grants the moment its own power. Friar Laurence is at once judgmental and, with his two different light sources (a torch in hand and a lantern behind him), a literal beacon. Juliet is a picture of innocence, and surprising decisiveness: her face is collected, her arm extended in a gesture of dimissal.

(But Paris just looks really, really dead.)

HOW I FEEL EVERY MORNING

[lyannastarqk]

Next to being married, a girl likes to be crossed a little in love now and then. It is something to think of, and it gives her a sort of distinction among her companions.
