Thomas Rowlandson

    July 13, 1756 – April 21, 1827

    Thomas Rowlandson was an English artist and caricaturist whose works are characterized by a satirical and often provocative view of the society of his time. His satirical drawings and illustrations masterfully captured human foibles and societal ills with wit and a lively hand. Rowlandson's unique style and his ability to combine humor with critical observation make him a significant figure in the history of British art and visual satire.

      The absurdities of fashion, the perils of love, political machinations and royal intrigue were the daily subject matter of Thomas Rowlandson, one of the leading caricaturists of Georgian England. Rowlandson was working at a time when English satirical prints were prized by collectors across Europe. A number of the works in the exhibition were purchased by George, Prince of Wales, later Prince Regent and King George IV. Ironically the Prince was often the butt of caricaturists' jokes and sometimes tried to prevent the publication of images that he felt were particularly offensive. Through Rowlandson's drawings and prints, the exhibition examines life at the turn of the 19th century. 0Exhibition: The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, UK (11.2013).
