EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant colour lithograph titled "What a pompous Priest it is!" captures the essence of an amusing scene from Anne Manning's novel, The Household of Sir Thomas More. Created by Charles Edmund Brock in 1909, this artwork showcases his exceptional talent and attention to detail. The focal point of the print is a self-important priest, whose exaggerated posture and haughty expression reveal his inflated sense of importance. Surrounding him are various characters including Sir Thomas More, Cardinal Wolsey, and a young girl who appears to be the daughter of one of the priests. Each figure is meticulously rendered with intricate costumes that reflect their respective roles within society. Brock's composition not only highlights the pompous nature of certain religious figures but also provides insight into the complexities and dynamics within religious orders during this period. The inclusion of monks and clergy members further emphasizes these themes. With its vivid colors and lively depiction, this print offers viewers a glimpse into both historical events and fictional narratives. It serves as a reminder that even those in positions of authority can possess flaws or exhibit arrogance. "What a pompous Priest it is!" stands as an excellent example of Brock's ability to capture character through visual storytelling. This artwork continues to captivate audiences today with its humorous portrayal and insightful commentary on religion and human nature.
