"Jukes: Capturing Life's Moments in 18th Century England" Step into the world of Francis Jukes, a renowned artist and printmaker whose works beautifully depict various aspects of life in 18th century England. From bustling city scenes to serene landscapes, Jukes' artistry brings history alive. In "The Doctor Dismissing Death, " created in 1785 by Jukes alongside Peter Simon, we witness a powerful image of a doctor triumphing over death itself. This captivating piece showcases the resilience and determination of humanity even in the face of mortality. Another masterpiece by Jukes is "Vauxhall Gardens, Lambeth, " dating back to around 1785. Collaborating with Robert Pollard this time, he captures the vibrant atmosphere and joyous gatherings at one of London's most famous pleasure gardens. The lively scene transports us to an era filled with music, dancing, and merriment. Journeying further north to Kingston-upon-Hull, Yorkshire, we encounter "Bascule Bridge and New Docks. " Created as a colored aquatint in 1786, this artwork showcases the industrial progress taking place during that time. It stands as a testament to human ingenuity and innovation. Venturing beyond English shores, Jukes presents us with "A View of Moorea (Morea), One of the Friendly Islands. " This hand-colored aquatint provides a glimpse into exotic lands far away from home. With its lush greenery and tranquil waterscapes, it invites viewers on an imaginary voyage across distant seas. "Wet Parsons" is yet another collaboration between Francis Jukes and Peter Simon from 1785. In this satirical piece depicting clergymen caught out in heavy rainstorms without shelter or umbrellas, humor intertwines with social commentary on daily life during that period. Moving forward to December 20th, 1794 we find ourselves visiting Salvadore House Academy in Tooting, Wandsworth, London.
