This grandiose work is celebrated for its intricate composition and the masterful way it brings together a multitude of characters from the plays of William Shakespeare.

The painting is a vibrant and dynamic tableau that features over a hundred characters from Shakespeare's oeuvre, all gathered in a celestial setting that suggests their elevation to a divine status. The term "apotheosis" refers to the glorification of a subject to divine level, and in this context, it underscores the timeless and revered nature of Shakespeare's creations. The characters are depicted in a variety of poses and interactions, reflecting the diverse range of human experiences and emotions that Shakespeare explored in his plays.
Gilbert's attention to detail and his ability to capture the essence of each character are evident in the meticulous rendering of their costumes, expressions, and gestures. The painting not only serves as a tribute to Shakespeare's genius but also as a testament to Gilbert's skill as an artist. It is a visual feast that invites viewers to explore the rich tapestry of Shakespearean drama, from the tragic to the comedic, the noble to the villainous.
The "Apotheosis of Shakespeare's Characters" has been praised for its imaginative composition and its ability to convey the enduring impact of Shakespeare's work on literature and culture.
