"King Lear Against A Stormy Sky, In A Crimson Mantle Trimmed With Ermine, In A Feigned Oval" is a notable work by Sir Joshua Reynolds, a prominent 18th-century English painter who was one of the founding members of the Royal Academy of Arts. This painting, created in the latter part of Reynolds's career, exemplifies his mastery in portraying complex emotional states and dramatic scenes, which were influenced by the grandeur of Baroque art and the study of classical antiquity. The artwork captures a moment from William Shakespeare's tragedy "King Lear," showcasing the titular character amidst a tumultuous storm, symbolizing his inner turmoil and the chaotic unraveling of his kingdom.

Reynolds's depiction of King Lear is remarkable for its emotional depth and technical prowess. The painting features Lear in a striking crimson mantle trimmed with ermine, signifying his royal status, yet the stormy sky and his distressed expression reflect his vulnerability and the tragic consequences of his actions. The use of a feigned oval, a technique Reynolds employed to give the illusion of a framed oval within the canvas, focuses the viewer's attention on the figure of Lear and enhances the dramatic impact of the composition.

This work is a testament to Reynolds's ability to fuse elements of portraiture, historical painting, and literary narrative, creating a powerful visual interpretation of Shakespeare's text. It also reflects the broader cultural and artistic interests of the 18th century, including the revival of interest in Shakespeare's plays and the exploration of human psychology through art. "King Lear Against A Stormy Sky, In A Crimson Mantle Trimmed With Ermine, In A Feigned Oval" remains an important example of Reynolds's artistic legacy and his contribution to the development of British art.
