“The Taming of the Shrew” by Frank William Warwick Topham, England, 1879.

Striking oil on canvas painting titled The Taming of the Shrew by British artist Frank William Warwick Topham, created in 1879. Inspired by William Shakespeare’s iconic play, the painting captures the moment of Petruchio’s triumphant return with a now-submissive Katherina, set amid a celebratory gathering. Topham skillfully conveys rich detail, theatrical drama, and vibrant color through this lively depiction of one of literature's most famous "battle-of-the-sexes" comedies.
