Caught Concentrating Copying Doctor Moment Passion Pours Syntax
EDITORS COMMENTS
In this humorous and intriguing scene from 1813, renowned English poet and caricaturist, Dr. Syntax, is depicted deep in thought as he sits by a country inn window, meticulously copying the wit and wisdom of the world around him. The serene moment is interrupted, however, by an unexpected turn of events. A young lady, lost in a passionate embrace with a dashing young man, accidentally knocks over a pitcher of water, drenching the unsuspecting Dr. Syntax. The artist's masterful use of light and shadow creates a captivating contrast between the innocent and the mischievous, the serious and the playful. Dr. Syntax, with his quill in hand and spectacles perched on his nose, remains unperturbed by the interruption, continuing to focus on his task at hand. The young lovers, oblivious to the commotion they have caused, share a moment of stolen passion, their eyes locked in a passionate gaze. This charming print, created in 1813, offers a glimpse into the daily life of the time, blending the ordinary with the extraordinary. The inn, with its rustic charm and warm glow, serves as the perfect backdrop for this delightful scene of love, laughter, and the pursuit of knowledge. Dr. Syntax, a popular character in the works of William Combe and Thomas Rowlandson, was known for his wit and satirical commentary on the social norms of the day. This print captures the essence of his character, showcasing his unwavering dedication to his craft, even in the face of unexpected interruptions.
