EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing 19th-century print titled "Desire, February 21,1800" created by Thomas Rowlandson, we are transported back in time to witness a peculiar scene. The artwork showcases the concept of desire and attraction through a satirical lens. The image portrays an old man with a monocle, peacefully asleep in his bed. Little does he know that he is being watched by a mischievous character hiding behind the curtains. This voyeuristic act adds an element of creepiness to the composition. Rowlandson's use of color and etching techniques brings life to this caricature-like depiction of desire. The woman depicted in the print appears captivated by her own thoughts or perhaps even spying on someone else herself. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he captures the essence of British society during this period. The beau portrayed here represents a typical gentleman from that era, emphasizing societal norms and expectations. As we observe this print at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, it serves as a reminder that desires and passions have existed throughout history, regardless of time or place. Rowlandson skillfully encapsulates these universal human experiences within his artwork. "Desire, February 21,1800" invites us to reflect on our own desires while simultaneously providing insight into past cultural attitudes towards attraction and relationships. It stands as both an artistic masterpiece and a historical document capturing one facet of human nature for generations to come.
