Last night, while I was searching through images of Richard III, I came across these beautiful paintings of Shakespeare’s characters by John Link.  Here are a few of my favorites:

Hamlet and Old Hamlet

Feste

Imogen

Malvolio

Ophelia

Sir Andrew Aguecheek

King Lear

Viola and Sebastian

And of course, Richard III

You can see all of the paintings here.

…Wow. Absolutely hauntingly beautiful.
