"Admonishing: A Journey through Art and Literature" Step into the world of admonishment, where art and literature intertwine to convey powerful messages. From the comfort of a bed of roses to the halls of Parliament in session, these hints offer glimpses into various forms of admonition. Gillray's engraving "Comfort of a Bed of Roses" captures both luxury and caution, reminding us that even amidst comfort, challenges may arise. Meanwhile, "Parliament in Session in the Reign of James I" transports us back to early 17th century England, illustrating how authority figures admonish one another for their actions. In Charles Perrault's "Bluebeard, " an illustration from 1893 warns against curiosity with chilling engravings. Similarly, "Susanna and the Elders in the Garden" depicts a tale where elders' misconduct is exposed before they face trial – a lesson on accountability. Artists have also depicted biblical stories as cautionary tales. In "David and Nathan, " we witness David being confronted by Nathan for his wrongdoing. The penitent Saint Peter seeks redemption while Christ blesses him in "The Penitent Saint Peter. " Amidst all this seriousness lies humor; Caudle's colored engraving shows someone exclaiming, "You're a brute. " Perhaps it serves as a reminder not to take ourselves too seriously. Engraving titled "Give me back the kisses I gave you or I'll sue you" highlights consequences when love turns sour. On another note, Nathan Admonishing David showcases pen-and-ink artistry conveying strong emotions through simple lines. Finally, Ms 322 f. 99r presents an initial D with Christ blessing while David gazes at Bathsheba—a subtle reminder that even great leaders can falter if they succumb to temptation. Through these diverse artworks spanning centuries, we are reminded that admonishment takes many forms—sometimes gentle, sometimes harsh.
