Thomas Rowlandson

    13. Juli 1756 – 21. April 1827

    Thomas Rowlandson war ein englischer Künstler und Karikaturist, dessen Werke sich durch eine satirische und oft provokative Sicht auf die Gesellschaft seiner Zeit auszeichnen. Seine satirischen Zeichnungen und Illustrationen fingen meisterhaft menschliche Schwächen und gesellschaftliche Missstände mit Witz und einer lebendigen Feder ein. Rowlandson's einzigartiger Stil und seine Fähigkeit, Humor mit kritischer Beobachtung zu verbinden, machen ihn zu einer bedeutenden Figur in der Geschichte der britischen Kunst und visuellen Satire.

      The absurdities of fashion, the perils of love, political machinations and royal intrigue were the daily subject matter of Thomas Rowlandson, one of the leading caricaturists of Georgian England. Rowlandson was working at a time when English satirical prints were prized by collectors across Europe. A number of the works in the exhibition were purchased by George, Prince of Wales, later Prince Regent and King George IV. Ironically the Prince was often the butt of caricaturists' jokes and sometimes tried to prevent the publication of images that he felt were particularly offensive. Through Rowlandson's drawings and prints, the exhibition examines life at the turn of the 19th century. 0Exhibition: The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, UK (11.2013).
