This etching, titled "Pie-Us Ecstacy Godliness Itinerant Preachers" created by the talented British artist Thomas Rowlandson in 1825, is a grotesque yet thought-provoking image that delves into themes of greed and false piety. The print measures 11 1/4 x 8 3/4 inches (285 x 223 cm) and showcases Rowlandson's exceptional skill in capturing intricate details. In this satirical portrayal, Rowlandson focuses on William Huntington, an eccentric nonconformist preacher who led a fascinating life as both a wealthy individual and a coal heaver. The etching depicts Huntington in a state of ecstasy, seemingly lost in heavenly visions while indulging himself with venison and mulligatawny soup. Rowlandson's intention behind this artwork seems to be to condemn the hypocrisy often found within religious figures who use their position for personal gain rather than genuine spirituality. By juxtaposing Huntington's extravagant lifestyle with his supposed devotion to God, the artist challenges viewers to question the authenticity of religious leaders.
