Thomas Rowlandson Knihy
13. júl 1756 – 21. apríl 1827
Thomas Rowlandson bol anglický umelec a karikaturista, ktorého diela sa vyznačujú satirickým a často provokatívnym pohľadom na spoločnosť svojej doby. Jeho satirické kresby a ilustrácie majstrovsky zachytávali ľudské slabosti a spoločenské neduhy s ostrovtipom a živou kresbou. Rowlandsonov jedinečný štýl a jeho schopnosť spojiť humor s kritickým pozorovaním z neho robia významnú postavu v dejinách britského umenia a vizuálnej satiry.
Recognized for its cultural significance, this work contributes to the foundational knowledge of civilization. It has been chosen by scholars for its importance, highlighting its role in understanding historical and societal contexts.

The absurdities of fashion, the perils of love, political machinations and royal intrigue were the daily subject matter of Thomas Rowlandson, one of the leading caricaturists of Georgian England. Rowlandson was working at a time when English satirical prints were prized by collectors across Europe. A number of the works in the exhibition were purchased by George, Prince of Wales, later Prince Regent and King George IV. Ironically the Prince was often the butt of caricaturists' jokes and sometimes tried to prevent the publication of images that he felt were particularly offensive. Through Rowlandson's drawings and prints, the exhibition examines life at the turn of the 19th century. 0Exhibition: The Queen's Gallery, Palace of Holyroodhouse, Edinburgh, UK (11.2013).
