The Story of Thomas a Becket. No. 5
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a vibrant and comical lithograph by Arthur Moreland that captures the essence of this historical tale with a touch of humor. The image, part of the "Humors of History" series, depicts an amusing scene from the life of Thomas a Becket, the Archbishop of Canterbury. In this satirical cartoon, we see knights in colorful attire engaging in playful antics around Becket. With exaggerated expressions and exaggerated movements, they bring to life the lighthearted nature of this visual comedy. The artist's clever use of caricature adds depth to the narrative as he pokes fun at both English and German cultures. The inclusion of German elements reflects Moreland's keen observation and his ability to incorporate satire into his work. This print not only entertains but also offers insight into European history during that time period. It serves as a reminder that even serious events can be portrayed with humor without diminishing their significance. As we delve into "The Story of Thomas a Becket" we are reminded that art has always been an effective medium for storytelling - whether it be through words or visuals. This lithograph invites us to explore history through laughter while appreciating its artistic brilliance.
