And now Christine sent me a photo of this painting "Illustration by Eleanor Fortesque Brickdale (1871-1945) for Tempest" saying that it is a portrait of me.
Very few people know that Shakespeare based the character of Prospero in The Tempest on his close friend John Dee, the mage who developed Angelic Magick. I even have a suspicion that the magic ritual that Prospero performs onstage was directed in consultation with John Dee himself.
