EDITORS COMMENTS
Study for Envy, c. 1898 (w/c) by George Dutch Davidson captures the essence of one of the seven deadly sins with bold colors and intricate symbolism. This artwork, measuring 34.9x10.9 cm, is housed in The McManus museum in Dundee, UK. The painting portrays a powerful emotion that resonates with viewers - envy. With its skillful use of watercolors, Davidson brings to life the intensity of this feeling through vivid brushstrokes and contrasting hues. In this nineteenth-century panel, jealousy takes on a symbolic form as skulls are incorporated into the composition. These macabre elements serve as a reminder of the destructive nature of envy and how it can consume individuals from within. Davidson's study delves deep into human psychology, exploring not only anger but also rage and furor associated with envy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, capturing the incensed expression on the subject's face. This British symbolist artwork was acquired by The McManus museum in 1973 with support from the National Fund for Acquisitions. It stands as a testament to Davidson's talent and his ability to convey complex emotions through his art. Through Study for Envy, c. 1898 (w/c), Bridgeman Images allows us to appreciate this remarkable piece without commercial intentions.
