Antonio in black, next to him, is gently restraining Bassanio. In his book, titled “Shakespeare, Hogarth and Garrick: Plays, Painting and Performance”, Prof Simon writes that Angellis’s painting does not illustrate the trial scene as it appears in Granville’s play but follows Shakespeare’s original text: “Stage right is Bassanio, holding his purse out to Shylock in his red cap, as he offers to pay even ten times the amount of ducats demanded. ![]() Granville’s trial scene was enlivened by added action, with Bassanio drawing his sword to defend Antonio and attack Shylock.” It only appeared in the form of an adaptation of 1701 by George Granville, The Jew of Venice. “Similarly, Shakespeare’s Merchant of Venice was never performed on the early 18th-century stage.

Prof Simon will publish his findings in a forthcoming book following the painting's acquisition by the Garrick Club in London, where he chairs the Works of Art Committee. “It precedes in date the painting that has properly, until now, been identified as the first painting after an original Shakespeare text, Hogarth’s scene from The Tempest.” He added: “There can be no doubt that this is the first surviving history picture painted after a text of Shakespeare. The attribution has been confirmed by Prof Robin Simon, a leading expert in British art and literature, who told The Telegraph: “It shows the trial scene in The Merchant of Venice, where Shylock asks for his pound of flesh, a pivotal moment of the play. Traces of Angellis’s signature emerged during its restoration. A London dealer found it in Holland, where it had been wrongly attributed.
