EDITORS COMMENTS
Red-Handed (chromolitho) captures the intense drama and suspense of a crime scene, beautifully depicted by George Goodwin Kilburne. This print, part of a private collection, showcases Kilburne's exceptional talent in illustrating gripping narratives with remarkable attention to detail. Set against a backdrop of lush countryside, the image transports us to a world where poaching was not only an illegal act but also an art form. The artist skillfully portrays two figures caught in the act - their faces etched with fear and determination as they find themselves 'red-handed'. Their vivid red hands serve as both evidence of their illicit activities and symbols of guilt. Originally created as an illustration for The Graphic in 1895, this artwork offers a glimpse into Victorian society's fascination with crime and its consequences. With each stroke of his brush, Kilburne masterfully conveys the tension between lawlessness and justice that permeated this era. The Red-Handed chromolitho is more than just a visual feast; it serves as a reminder that actions have consequences. It invites viewers to contemplate themes such as morality, temptation, and punishment while appreciating the technical brilliance behind this timeless piece. Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder presents this extraordinary print for all art enthusiasts seeking to delve into history through visually arresting compositions like Red-Handed (chromolitho). Immerse yourself in this evocative narrative that continues to captivate audiences over a century later.
