Considering intertextuality in the early modern period to be not only poeticbut also figurative, this paper proposes an intermedial conversationbetween drama and painting, focusing on two particular iconographic topoiof visual representation in Shakespeare and Italian Renaissance art: the ekphrasticdescription of the sleeping woman portrayed as a mental rape inboth Othello and Cymbeline and the narrator's description of the sleepingwoman and the actual ravishing in The Rape of Lucrece. The juxtapositionof these two different literary and pictorial traditions of male fantasy maythrow some light on Shakespeare's dramatic use of ekphrasis.
