Henry VIII Monk Hunting, 1850
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a satirical illustration by John Leech that humorously depicts the Dissolution of the Monasteries during the reign of King Henry VIII. In this comical scene, we see a group of monks desperately fleeing through a woodland as they are chased by an overweight and greedy King Henry on horseback. This artwork captures the essence of this historical event which took place between 1536 and 1541. During this period, Henry VIII disbanded monasteries, priories, convents, and friaries in England, Wales, and Ireland to seize their wealth and assets for himself. The print highlights both the religious aspect with monks being pursued but also showcases the king's power as he enforces his authority over them. John Leech's detailed illustration brings to life the chaos and absurdity surrounding these events. The vibrant colors add depth to each character while emphasizing their roles within society at that time. This piece serves as a reminder of how political motivations can shape history. Published in "The Comic History of England" by Gilbert Abbott A. Beckett in 1850, Leech's work continues to entertain viewers today with its clever satire and witty commentary on power dynamics during the dissolution era. It remains an important artistic representation from the nineteenth century that sheds light on significant historical events while providing amusement through its exaggerated characters and humorous narrative.
