"Malvolio before Olivia, from Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare 1564-1616 1789" is an illustration by German artist Johann Heinrich Ramberg, created in 1789. The artwork depicts a scene from William Shakespeare's comedy "Twelfth Night," specifically focusing on the character Malvolio, the pompous steward of the wealthy Countess Olivia. In the play, Malvolio is known for his puritanical demeanor and his aspirations to rise above his social station, particularly through his misguided pursuit of Olivia's affection.

Ramberg's illustration captures the moment from Act II, Scene 5, where Malvolio fantasizes about marrying Olivia and becoming a nobleman. The artwork is significant for its detailed representation of 18th-century interpretations of Shakespearean characters and costumes, reflecting the period's aesthetic and theatrical sensibilities. Ramberg, who was a prolific illustrator and painter, often drew inspiration from literary sources, and his works contributed to the visual culture surrounding Shakespeare's plays during the late 18th century.

This illustration is an example of how artists of the time engaged with Shakespeare's texts, bringing the playwright's characters to life through visual art. It serves as a historical artifact that offers insight into the reception and adaptation of Shakespeare's work in the visual arts, as well as the broader cultural milieu of the time. The piece is part of a larger body of work by Ramberg that includes illustrations of other scenes from "Twelfth Night" and various other Shakespearean plays, showcasing the enduring influence of the Bard's work across different artistic disciplines.
