Thomas Rowlandson

    13. červenec 1756 – 21. duben 1827

    Thomas Rowlandson byl anglický umělec a karikaturista, jehož díla se vyznačují satirickým a často provokativním pohledem na společnost své doby. Jeho satirické kresby a ilustrace mistrně zachycovaly lidské slabosti a společenské nešvary s ostrovtipem a živou kresbou. Rowlandsonův jedinečný styl a jeho schopnost spojit humor s kritickým pozorováním z něj činí významnou postavu v dějinách britského umění a vizuální satiry.

      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).
