Thomas Tegg, also known as "The Corsican Spider in His Web. " was a prominent figure on July 12, 1808. His enigmatic presence and intricate schemes captivated the minds of many during this time. In 1830, an unknown creator immortalized Cromwell (1599-1658), shedding light on his complex character and historical significance. Similarly, J. Thomson (c1700-1748) became a subject of interest through another mysterious creation from the same year. On March 1, 1815, Hodges Explanation of a Hundred Magistrates emerged as a testament to Tegg's ability to navigate the intricacies of politics and power dynamics. This work shed light on the fascinating world he operated in. Themistocles (c524-459 BC), Sir R. Steele (1672-1729), A. Stanislaus (1732-1798), Sterne (1713-1768), F. Ximines (1436-1517), G. Steevens (1736-1800), Stillingfleet (1702-1771) were all individuals who found themselves intertwined with Thomas Tegg's web in various ways during this period. Even Titian (c1488 -1576) himself was not immune to Tegg's influence as evidenced by an anonymous creation from 1830 that depicted their connection. Thomas Tegg remains an enigma; his legacy lives on through these artistic representations that offer glimpses into his multifaceted persona and interactions with influential figures throughout history.
