"Enter Ariel Like a Nymph, from The Tempest, by William Shakespeare 1564-1616" is an evocative illustration by the renowned British artist Arthur Rackham. Created in the early 20th century, this artwork is part of Rackham's celebrated series of illustrations for William Shakespeare's play "The Tempest." Rackham, who lived from 1867 to 1939, is widely regarded as one of the leading illustrators of the Golden Age of British book illustration, a period roughly spanning from the late 19th century to the early 20th century.

Arthur Rackham's interpretation of Ariel, the airy spirit and servant to the magician Prospero, captures the ethereal and otherworldly essence of the character. In "The Tempest," Ariel is a central figure who assists Prospero in enacting his plans and ultimately seeks his own freedom. Rackham's illustration brings to life the moment when Ariel enters "like a nymph," a scene that underscores the magical and fantastical elements of Shakespeare's play.

Rackham's distinctive style is characterized by his meticulous line work, rich color palette, and a keen eye for detail, all of which are evident in this piece. His ability to blend the whimsical with the dramatic makes his illustrations particularly memorable and has cemented his legacy in the world of book illustration. The delicate and graceful portrayal of Ariel in this illustration reflects Rackham's deep understanding of the character's role and the play's themes of enchantment and transformation.

This illustration, along with others in the series, was included in various editions of "The Tempest" published during Rackham's career. These editions have been cherished by collectors and literature enthusiasts alike, contributing to the enduring popularity of both Shakespeare's work and Rackham's artistic contributions. Through his illustrations, Rackham has provided a visual gateway into the magical world of "The Tempest," allowing readers to experience the play's imaginative landscape in a new and captivating way.
