Began C18th Elegy Ends Friends Gain Goldsmith Pique Private
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of a historical elegy from the late 18th century, depicting the tragic tale of a once loyal dog turned mad. The inscription reads "Elegy on a Mad Dog / C18Th (The dog & man at first were friends, But when a pique began, The dog to gain his private ends, Went mad & bit the man)", shedding light on the betrayal and sorrow that ensued between man and beast.
The image evokes a sense of melancholy as we witness the aftermath of this fateful event. The intricate details in the artwork bring to life the emotions felt by both parties involved - from friendship and trust to betrayal and madness.
As we delve into this piece of history, we are reminded of how quickly relationships can unravel and turn sour. The goldsmith's skillful depiction serves as a timeless reminder of human nature and its complexities.
Published in books during the 19th century, this elegy has stood the test of time as a poignant reflection on loyalty, trust, and ultimately, loss. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this piece for generations to come, allowing us to ponder its profound message and appreciate its artistic beauty.
