Falstaff reviewing recruits These changes are interesting, in showing the way in which Hayman conceives of such scenes as a dramatic actuality, in which the actors move in relation to one another and the scene progresses. It is lastly worth noting that Hayman’s fondness for the scene may have had something to do with his own resemblance to Falstaff, and the seated figure in Johan Zoffany’s group portrait of the Royal Academicians bears an uncanny resemblance to Shakespeare’s knight in this painting. Falstaff reviewing recruits is perhaps the archetypal Hayman subject, one in which the natural tendency of his style towards broad humour and caricature can be indulged rather than fitfully restrained. www.historicalportraits.com /p_view.asp?ID=63240zHHXcoklutnrGzb6RPhokDCrktJ   (361 words)
