Four O'Clock in the Town - A Glimpse into Late Night Debauchery
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This photo print, titled "Four O'Clock in the Town" offers a fascinating insight into the nocturnal activities of 18th-century urban life. Created by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson, this watercolor on paper composition measures 24x33.5 cm and is housed at Newport Museum and Art Gallery in South Wales. The painting presents a stark contrast to its counterpart, "Four O'Clock in the Country". In this scene, we witness a man undressing while lying on his bed, surrounded by flickering candlelight. The disheveled state of his clothing suggests that he has indulged in excessive drinking and revelry throughout the night. Rowlandson masterfully captures the essence of debauchery through vivid details such as an intoxicated male figure accompanied by servants and maids who seem equally affected by their late-night escapades. The room's opulent furnishings provide further context for this scene of excess. As viewers delve deeper into this artwork's narrative, they are transported back to an era where societal norms were challenged under cover of darkness. This intriguing glimpse into hidden desires and secret lives reminds us that human nature transcends time. With its impeccable execution and rich storytelling ability, "Four O'Clock in the Town" continues to captivate audiences today. It serves as a testament to Rowlandson's artistic prowess and remains an invaluable piece within Newport Museum
