EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Taming of the Shrew: Katherine & Petruchio, or The Modern Quixote" takes us back to 1791 when it was published by S. W. Fores. Created by James Gillray, a renowned artist of that era, this hand-coloured etching is a masterpiece in itself. The image portrays an intriguing scene referencing the Russo-Turkish war that took place between 1787 and 1792. In this satirical political satire, we witness Catherine the Great being forced to cede territory in the Ottoman Empire while surrounded by influential figures such as Emperor Francis I of Austria, Frederick Wilhelm III of Prussia, and William V stadtholder of Netherlands. Gillray's artistic brilliance shines through his clever use of caricature and theatrical elements to depict these historical events with a touch of humor. The inclusion of Shakespeare's comedy "Taming of the Shrew" adds another layer to this visual narrative. As we delve deeper into this print, we notice various symbols representing power dynamics and alliances among nations during that time period. From sword-wielding figures to swooning damsels and even a Hanoverian white horse carrying a politician on its back – every detail tells a story. This remarkable engraving captures not only historical moments but also showcases Gillray's ability to blend drama, parody, and satire seamlessly. It serves as both entertainment for theater enthusiasts and an insightful commentary on politics and power struggles during those turbulent times. Courtesy of Fine Art Finder via Bridgeman Images, this print allows us to appreciate Gillray's genius while immersing ourselves in history through art.
