"Exposed to the world's contempt, a haunting portrayal of injustice unfolds in 'Execution Without Trial under the Moorish Kings in Granada, 1870' (oil on canvas). " "In the face of corruption and deceit, Cicero bravely confronts his enemies with unwavering resolve in 'Cicero in Catilinam, March 17, 1785' (Creator: James Sayers). " "The pale complexion of true love is marred by society's disdainful gaze. " "As familiarity grows too great, it breeds contempt - an engraving captures this truth perfectly in 'Une trop grande familiarite engendre le mepris. '" "Amidst the vibrant streets of Quartier Latin in 1898, a lithograph reveals the subtle contempt hidden behind friendly faces. " "A glimpse into societal tensions through a newsagent's window in North London. " "In their eyes meet two strangers yet connected by unspoken scorn. A watercolor painting depicts this intriguing encounter titled 'Strangers Yet. '" "David escorts the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem amidst both reverence and disdain captured beautifully on Ms Lat. Q. v. I. 126 f. 56. " "A satirical hand-coloured etching from 1806 presents 'A Tub for the Whale. ' as a metaphorical representation of society's mockery towards those deemed different or outcasted. " "Intriguingly complex emotions intertwine within 'Good and Evil: Scorn. ' The artist masterfully portrays these contrasting forces through meticulous brushstrokes on canvas. " "'In the ruins, is that all?' asks Le Rire Rouge's front cover illustration - an evocative image that challenges our perception and invites contemplation.
