The Family Picture
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from the renowned novel, "The Vicar of Wakefield" written by Oliver Goldsmith. This hand-coloured aquatint print, created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson in 1817, beautifully captures the essence of this literary masterpiece. In this scene, we are transported to Chapter Sixteen of the novel where we meet an array of intriguing characters. The central figure is Squire Thornhill, a prominent member of society and a key player in the story's plot. Surrounding him are various individuals who represent different facets of society during that era. Rowlandson's meticulous attention to detail brings each character to life on paper. From their expressions and body language to their elaborate costumes and hairstyles, every element contributes to creating a vivid portrayal of these fictional personalities. The limner responsible for painting this group portrait has skillfully captured not only their physical appearances but also hints at their individual traits and personalities through subtle nuances in their poses and facial expressions. This print serves as both an artistic masterpiece and a visual representation of Goldsmith's storytelling prowess. It allows us to delve deeper into the world he created within his novel while providing us with a glimpse into English society during that time period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, it reminds us how art can transcend time and transport us into different worlds through its sheer beauty and evocative power.
