Charons Boat - The Ghosts of all the Talents Taking Their Last Voyage
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and intriguing painting from the Pope's Gallery at Rome, created in 1807 on July 16th. This masterpiece depicts a group of naked Whig politicians, led by three Grenvilles, Sheridan, St. Vincent, Moira, Temple, Erskine, Howick, Petty, Whitbread, Sheridan, Windham, and Tomline, Bishop of Lincoln, as they embark on a voyage across the river Styx in a boat named the Broad Bottom Packet. The boat's torn sail bears the inscription "Catholic Emancipation," and the center mast is crowned with the Prince of Wales' feathers and motto "Ich Dien." On the far side of the river, the shades of historical figures Cromwell, Charles Fox, and Robespierre wave farewell to the politicians. Above the boat, the Three Fates ride on brooms, while a three-headed dog guards the riverbank. Adding to the surreal atmosphere, three birds defecate on the boat and the politicians. This painting, a commentary on the political climate of the time, reflects the tumultuous events leading up to the Catholic Emancipation Act of 1829, which granted Catholics in the United Kingdom the same civil rights as Protestants. The nakedness of the politicians symbolizes their vulnerability and the futility of their political maneuverings. The use of mythological and historical figures adds depth and complexity to the painting, making it a fascinating and intriguing work of art.
