EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical drawing from 1852 depicts a Capuchin Monk, MONACHUS CAPUCINUS, during a time when England was gripped with fear of a papal invasion. The artist's clever and humorous portrayal of the monk reflects the tension and anxiety surrounding religion and politics at that time in history. The Capuchin Monk is shown in traditional attire, with his distinctive hooded robe and cord belt. His expression is mischievous, hinting at the underlying satire of the image. The intricate details of the drawing capture the essence of this religious figure while also poking fun at the perceived threat he represents. During this period, various religious orders like the Capuchins were viewed with suspicion by some in England, leading to heightened fears of foreign influence and control. This drawing serves as a reminder of how religion has often been intertwined with political power struggles throughout history. Mary Evans Picture Library has preserved this historical artwork for modern audiences to appreciate and reflect upon. It offers us a glimpse into a past where religious tensions ran high and satirical art served as both entertainment and social commentary.
