The Music Master, from Scenes at Bath
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a delightful and mischievous print that captures the essence of secret love and flirtation in 18th-century Bath. Created by the talented artist Thomas Rowlandson, this watercolor and pen-and-ink masterpiece showcases his exceptional skill in caricature. In this scene, we witness a humorous moment where a rotund music teacher finds solace in slumber while his young pupils engage in clandestine courtship. As the teacher snoozes by the fireside, two lovers steal a furtive kiss behind his back. The amorous atmosphere is palpable as they indulge in their illicit tryst. Rowlandson's attention to detail brings this Georgian interior to life, with its cozy comforts of Bath providing an intimate backdrop for these surreptitious encounters. The playful expressions on the faces of both the sleeping master and his mischievous students add an extra layer of humor to this composition. This print not only showcases Rowlandson's artistic talent but also offers us a glimpse into the social dynamics and hidden desires of society during that era. It serves as a reminder that even amidst strict societal norms, love can find its way through secret glances and stolen moments. Displayed at Yale Center for British Art as part of Paul Mellon Collection, "The Music Master" continues to captivate viewers with its timeless charm and witty portrayal of human nature.
