EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Horror, January 21,1800" created by Thomas Rowlandson in the 19th century, we are transported back to a time of British satire and caricature. The image depicts a scene filled with fear and alarm as both male and female figures express their fright in comical ways. Rowlandson's etching showcases his talent for capturing human emotions through exaggerated facial expressions and body language. The artist humorously portrays the concept of horror, highlighting the absurdity of our fears. A group of boys can be seen cowering together, while a woman looks on with wide-eyed terror. The use of color adds depth to the print, enhancing the overall impact of the scene. Rowlandson's attention to detail is evident in every stroke, from the intricate patterns on clothing to subtle shading techniques that bring each character to life. This satirical piece reflects not only Rowlandson's artistic prowess but also serves as a window into society during that era. It reminds us that even in times long past, people found solace in laughter amidst their fears. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art today, this work by Thomas Rowlandson continues to captivate viewers with its timeless portrayal of human nature - our ability to find humor even when faced with horror.
