The Exhibition Stare-Case - A Delightful Chaos Unveiled
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Rowlandson, titled "The Exhibition Stare-Case, Somerset House" offers a humorous and bawdy glimpse into the bustling world of 19th-century London. With his signature wit and caricature style, Rowlandson masterfully captures a moment of sheer chaos on the grand staircase of Somerset House. In this lively scene, we witness an unexpected accident unfolding as individuals tumble down the stairs in various states of undress. The artist's playful use of watercolor with grey and brown wash adds depth to the composition, enhancing the sense of movement and urgency. Rowlandson's keen eye for detail is evident in every figure depicted - from startled onlookers to mischievous characters flashing their undergarments. Through his satirical lens, he invites us to laugh at human folly while also highlighting societal norms and conventions. This exceptional artwork measures 44.7x29.8 cm and is housed in Yale Center for British Art's prestigious Paul Mellon Collection in the USA. It serves as a testament to Rowlandson's enduring legacy as one of England's most celebrated cartoonists. "The Exhibition Stare-Case" transports viewers back in time, offering a delightful window into an era where humor reigned supreme amidst daily life mishaps. This remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences today with its timeless charm and unrivaled storytelling prowess.
