#Storytelling can use many mediums; this one moved from page to stage to canvas. Johan Zoffany portrayed scenes from contemporary plays; this scene is from ‘Venice Preserv’d’ with actors Garrick & Cibber. Jaffeir plots against the Venetian senate but turns in his co-conspirators at his wife Belvidera’s behest. Here Jaffeir threatens to kill her her for losing him his honour.
