EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "Blowing up the Pic Nic s, or Harlequin Quixotte attacking the Puppets" by James Gillray takes us back to 1802, immersing us in a world of theatrical chaos and social satire. In this hand-coloured etching with aquatint, we witness Richard Sheridan leading an audacious assault on the Pic Nic Society, a group of amateur performers. Charles Kemble appears as Hamlet amidst the uproar. Gillray's masterful depiction captures the melodramatic scene unfolding before our eyes. The actors' costumes are vividly portrayed, emphasizing their histrionic gestures and exaggerated expressions. Amidst pandemonium, a ghostly figure resembling David Garrick looms in the background, adding an eerie touch to this theatrical spectacle. The print is filled with satirical elements that critique both society and theater itself. Verbal attacks fly through the air as chaos reigns supreme on stage. A bared breast adds a hint of scandal while quills symbolize creativity and artistic expression. This artwork not only showcases Gillray's exceptional talent for caricature but also provides insight into the vibrant theater culture of 19th-century England. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, art was used as a powerful tool for social commentary and entertainment. Courtesy of New College Oxford's collection, this remarkable piece from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Gillray's wit and skill while transporting us back in time to witness this upro
