EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a historic moment in British theatre - "The Authors Benefit: Pasquin, 1736". Created by an unknown artist in the 18th century, this etching showcases the vibrant world of acting and entertainment during that time. The image takes us back to London's Haymarket Theatre, where Henry Fielding's play "Pasquin" was being performed. In this satirical scene, we see actors on stage portraying characters who embody common sense and folly. The concept of measurement is cleverly depicted through a barometer, symbolizing the fluctuating nature of human behavior. William Hogarth's influence can be seen in the intricate details and storytelling within the artwork. As we gaze at this piece from The Metropolitan Museum of Art collection, we are transported to a bygone era filled with drama and theatrical brilliance. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been intertwined with society's reflection on itself. Although created centuries ago by an anonymous artist, this print preserves not only the visual beauty but also historical significance for future generations to appreciate. It allows us to delve into Britain's rich heritage while celebrating the enduring power of theater as an art form.
