A portrait painted 400 years ago and kept anonymously in an Irish home for much of the time since is now believed to be the only painting of William Shakespeare created during his lifetime. The image reveals a wealthy Shakespeare of high social status, contradicting the popular view of a struggling playwright of humble status, according to Stanley Wells, a professor who chairs London's Shakespeare Birthplace Trust. To many Shakespeare lovers his social status is not important. He stands alone and unique as a person who had a very special quality to explore the human emotions. His literary powers to portray pain using penetrating words bring a philosophical world to any reader who can fathom the unfathomable depth of the human soul. William Shakespeare was an artist of life, a silent traveler in the mysterious alleys of our lives and above all a story teller to shake the very foundations of our existence. In Hamlet when he says, I die Horatio, rest is silence, and he brings the entire creation to a standstill.
