Desire (Le Brun Travested, or Caricatures of the Passions), January 20,1800 - A Humorous Satire on Hunger and Admiration
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this black and white etching from the 19th century, titled "Desire (Le Brun Travested, or Caricatures of the Passions)", Thomas Rowlandson takes us on a comical journey into the concept of desire. The scene is set in Britain, where a group of boys are gathered around a window with expressions of hunger and admiration. The central figure is a young boy who stands out with his silly expression and longing gaze. He represents desire personified as he gazes longingly at a plum pudding displayed behind the glass. His hunger is palpable as he reaches out towards it, unable to resist its allure. Rowlandson's satirical touch is evident in his caricatured depiction of Charles Le Brun, an influential French artist from the previous century. By transposing Le Brun's name onto this humorous scene, Rowlandson playfully mocks both British society's obsession with food and their admiration for famous figures. The artist George Moutard Woodward collaborated with Rowlandson to create this amusing piece that captures not only the universal experience of desire but also highlights societal values during that time period. Today, this print can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art as part of their collection showcasing historical satire. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humor was used
