EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage engraved image captures a fascinating scene from James Gillray's "Taming of the Shrew, Katharine and Petruchio, The modern Quixotte, or, what you will". Created in 1791, this artwork is filled with symbolism and historical references that transport us back to a bygone era. In the center of the composition stands Catherine II of Russia, depicted as faint and shying away from William Pitt. Pitt assumes the role of Petruchio from Shakespeare's play while Don Quixote rides on horseback behind him. Interestingly, George III appears lean and scarred, symbolizing his diminished authority usurped by Pitt. Seated behind Pitt are two significant figures: the King of Prussia representing power and Holland represented as Sancho Panza. Selim III kneels to kiss the horses' tail in an act of submission. The gaunt figure representing old order France along with Leopold II come to Catherine's assistance by preventing her fall to the ground. This engraving beautifully combines artistry with political commentary. With its retro style and illustrative technique reminiscent of Victorian times, this historic artwork evokes nostalgia for a different age. It serves as a reminder of our rich cultural history while showcasing Gillray's talent for capturing complex narratives within his engravings. This print is not just an antique piece; it represents a timeless tradition in historic art that continues to captivate viewers today.
