EDITORS COMMENTS

The Corsican Spider in His Web!, July 12,1808" is a captivating and humorous hand-colored etching by Thomas Rowlandson. This satirical artwork, created during the 19th century, depicts Napoleon Bonaparte as a cunning spider ensnaring his enemies in his intricate web. In this comical caricature, we see Napoleon portrayed as "The Corsican Spider" referring to his birthplace on the island of Corsica. With great attention to detail and vibrant colors, Rowlandson captures the essence of Napoleon's ambition and power. Napoleon is depicted with multiple arms extending from his body, symbolizing his ability to control various aspects of French society. He sits confidently at the center of an elaborate cobweb, representing France under his rule. Flies labeled with different countries' names are caught in the web, illustrating how Napoleon effortlessly traps and devours his adversaries. Rowlandson's clever use of satire highlights both the fear and amusement surrounding Napoleon's reign. The artist skillfully combines historical context with humor to create a thought-provoking image that invites viewers to reflect on political power dynamics. This print can be found at the Metropolitan Museum of Art and serves as a testament to Rowlandson's artistic talent and wit. It offers us a glimpse into an era where art was used not only for aesthetic purposes but also as social commentary.
