EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Enrag d Monster (from Fifteen Etchings Dedicated to Sir Joshua Reynolds), December 8,1778" captures the raw intensity and fury of an enraged monster. Created by John Hamilton Mortimer in the 18th century, this black and white etching showcases the artist's exceptional skill in depicting emotions through art. In this powerful image, we witness a violent struggle between good and evil. The monstrous creature, with its contorted features and menacing expression, symbolizes the embodiment of rage and chaos. Its eyes burn with anger as it unleashes its fury upon an unseen opponent. Mortimer's attention to detail is remarkable; every line etched on the paper seems to convey a sense of movement and aggression. The composition draws us into the heart of the battle, evoking a visceral reaction within us. This artwork not only represents Mortimer's artistic prowess but also reflects the cultural context of 18th-century Britain. It speaks to a time when violence was often glorified in both mythological tales and contemporary society. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a reminder of our shared human experience - our capacity for anger and struggle against adversity. It invites viewers to contemplate their own inner monsters while appreciating Mortimer's contribution to British heritage art.
