EDITORS COMMENTS
In this hilarious print, titled "Tarquinius Superbus makes himself King" artist John Leech transports us back to ancient Rome with a touch of comedic flair. The scene captures the audacious moment when Tarquinius Superbus, known for his tyrannical rule, shamelessly crowns himself as king. Leech's artistic style perfectly complements the satirical tone of Gilbert Abbott a Beckett's book, "The Comic History of Rome". With exaggerated expressions and exaggerated gestures, Leech brings out the absurdity of Tarquinius' power grab. The characters surrounding him are depicted in various states of shock and disbelief, adding to the overall humor. This print not only offers a comical take on an important historical event but also provides insight into how ancient Roman society was perceived during Victorian times. It serves as a reminder that even in serious matters such as kingship and governance, there is always room for laughter and parody. As we gaze upon this delightful artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we can't help but appreciate Leech's ability to blend history with comedy. Through his skillful brushstrokes and attention to detail, he invites us to reflect on power dynamics while simultaneously tickling our funny bones. Whether you're an art enthusiast or simply seeking some lighthearted amusement, this print is sure to bring joy and laughter into your space. Hang it proudly on your wall and let Tarquinius Superbus reign over your sense of humor
