The Lovers Dream, 1795
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases an engraving by James Gillray. This intriguing artwork, found in a private collection, takes us back to the late 18th century. In this dreamlike scene, we witness the inner thoughts of a sleeping lover. The image portrays a luxurious four-poster bed adorned with spoilt feathers and liveried angels surrounding it. As the lover rests peacefully, their dreams transport them into a realm where virtue triumphs over sin and guilt. Symbolism abounds in this enchanting composition. The crown above the bed hints at the presence of George IV, then known as Prince of Wales and later crowned as King George IV. His reputation for indulgence is reflected through elements such as drink and dice scattered around him. The ethereal figure of an angel represents vanity itself - vainly attempting to seduce our dreaming protagonist away from virtuous pursuits. Yet despite these temptations, our slumbering lover remains untouched by corruption. This thought-provoking print not only captures Gillray's artistic brilliance but also offers commentary on human nature and morality during that era. It invites viewers to ponder upon themes like temptation, self-control, and the power of dreams. As we gaze upon "The Lovers Dream" we are transported into an imaginative world where virtue reigns supreme amidst opulence and desire – reminding us that even in sleep, one's true character shines through.
