Shakespeare & Beyond

Quiz: Match the painting to the Shakespeare play

Shakespeare was a man of words. But in the 400 years since he wrote them, artists have explored how Shakespeare’s words can be represented in pictures too. Take this quiz to see depictions of scenes from Shakespeare plays, and see if you can correctly guess which plays.

All of the paintings featured in this quiz are part of the Painting Shakespeare exhibition, on view at the Folger through Feb 11, 2018.
