EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Doctor Syntax, 1820" we are transported back to a time of political turmoil and satire. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson in the early 19th century, this hand-coloured etching and lithograph captures the essence of British politics with a touch of humor. The image depicts Doctor Syntax, a fictional character created by William Combe, amidst a smoking hot political squabble. As he finds himself caught in the middle of heated debates and arguments, our protagonist seeks solace by quenching his thirst. The viewer can almost feel the tension in the air as Doctor Syntax yearns to "whet his whistle". Rowlandson's masterful use of etching and hand-colouring techniques brings life to every detail within this artwork. From the intricate lines that define each character's expression to the vibrant hues that enhance their emotions, it is evident that no element has been overlooked. This print not only serves as an amusing commentary on British politics but also showcases Rowlandson's exceptional talent as an engraver. With its timeless appeal and historical significance, "Doctor Syntax" continues to captivate viewers even centuries after its creation. Through Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we have access to this remarkable piece that offers us a glimpse into both art history and political satire at its finest.
