EDITORS COMMENTS
In this engraving titled "Tasting, 1782" artist John Nixon takes us on a satirical journey into the world of a civic feast. The scene is set in an elegant dining room, where guests are indulging in food and drink while engaging in witty banter. The atmosphere is filled with laughter and merriment as they raise their glasses for a toast. Nixon's attention to detail shines through as he depicts the Georgian era costumes, complete with elaborate wigs and tricorn hats. Amongst the diners, we spot soldiers donning their military attire, adding an unexpected twist to the gathering. Humor plays a significant role in this artwork, evident by the mischievous practical jokes being played at the table. It seems that even during formal occasions like these, there is always room for lighthearted amusement. The print captures not only a moment frozen in time but also provides us with insight into social customs and traditions of that period. Through his skillful execution, Nixon invites us to immerse ourselves in this lively scene and imagine what it must have been like to partake in such festivities. This remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder transports us back to an era where dining was not just about sustenance but also served as an opportunity for camaraderie and entertainment.
