Ridiculous Taste, or The Ladies Absurdity
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating mezzotint print created by Matthew Darly in 1776. This intriguing artwork, now part of a private collection, offers us a glimpse into the fashion and social customs of the late 18th century. The composition depicts an array of elegantly dressed women engaged in various activities that highlight their absurd taste. With exaggerated hairstyles adorned with feathers and ribbons, they appear to be engrossed in frivolous pursuits such as playing cards or reading scandalous novels. Their extravagant attire, complete with oversized hats and voluminous skirts, reflects the excessive trends prevalent during this era. Darly's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this mezzotint print. From the intricate patterns on the ladies' dresses to the delicate expressions on their faces, each element contributes to capturing both the opulence and folly of fashionable society at that time. Published by Sayer & Bennett between 1774 and 1786, "Ridiculous Taste" serves as a satirical commentary on societal norms and values. It invites viewers to reflect upon notions of vanity and superficiality while simultaneously providing entertainment through its humorous portrayal. This remarkable piece from www. bridgemanart. com not only showcases Darly's artistic talent but also provides valuable insight into historical fashion trends and social dynamics during one of England's most vibrant periods.
