King Joe on his Spanish Donkey, August 27,1808
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print by Thomas Rowlandson that captures the essence of a significant historical event. The image depicts King Joseph Bonaparte, also known as "King Joe" riding atop a humble Spanish donkey during the Napoleonic Wars. In this comical and satirical etching, Rowlandson brilliantly portrays the clash between power and humility. Despite being a monarch with multiple titles including King of Naples, Sicily, and Spain, King Joe finds himself perched upon an ordinary donkey. This juxtaposition highlights the absurdity of war and its impact on even those in positions of authority. The hand-colored details add vibrancy to the scene while emphasizing the contrast between royalty and common soldiers who surround him. The British army can be seen in the background, reminding viewers of their role as adversaries to Napoleon's forces. Rowlandson's work not only showcases his artistic talent but also serves as a commentary on warfare during this tumultuous period in history. Through humor and satire, he invites us to reflect on the consequences faced by both leaders and ordinary people caught up in conflicts driven by power struggles between nations. This print now resides within The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection where it continues to serve as a reminder of our shared heritage and offers insight into past events that have shaped our present world.
