The Rival Candidates
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and satirical print that captures the essence of political rivalry during the Westminster Election in 1784. Created by Thomas Rowlandson, this color etching serves as the frontispiece in the book "History of the Westminster Election" by Lovers of Truth and Justice. The central figure, Charles James Fox, is depicted as Demosthenes, an ancient Greek orator known for his persuasive speeches. On his left stands Lord Hood, portrayed as Themistocles, another renowned statesman from ancient Greece. Meanwhile, Sir Cecil Wray takes on the role of Judas Iscariot on Fox's right side - a clever commentary on Wray's betrayal and desertion of Fox. This artwork not only highlights the divisions within British Parliament but also showcases Rowlandson's mastery in satire and caricature. The artist skillfully portrays these politicians with sly expressions and exaggerated features to convey their ambitions and cunning nature. Through this image, we are transported back to a time when elections were fiercely contested battles between factions vying for power. It offers us a glimpse into Georgian politics where aristocracy played a significant role in shaping government decisions. As we observe this historical masterpiece from Fine Arts Museums of San Francisco, it reminds us that even centuries ago, political rivalries were intense and candidates would go to great lengths to secure victory at any cost.
