EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and humorous print, titled "Comforts of Bath, Plate 2" captures the essence of leisure and entertainment in 18th century England. Created by Thomas Rowlandson on January 6,1798, this hand-colored aquatint showcases the bustling city of Bath in all its glory. The scene depicts a concert hall filled with people enjoying their holiday in this popular spa town. Amongst the crowd is a female vocalist captivating the audience with her melodious voice. Dressed elegantly, she stands at center stage, commanding attention as she serenades the delighted spectators. Rowlandson's satirical touch is evident through his exaggerated portrayal of various characters within the composition. The artist skillfully combines humor and social commentary to depict different professions and occupations present at this gathering. From musicians to singers to everyday individuals seeking relaxation from their daily routines - all are united under one roof for an evening of merriment. With meticulous detail and vivid colors, Rowlandson transports us back to a time when music was a cherished form of entertainment during vacations or holidays. This artwork serves as a delightful reminder that even centuries ago, people sought solace and joy through shared experiences such as concerts. Now preserved at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows us to appreciate both the artistic talent of Thomas Rowlandson and gain insight into life during Britain's eighteenth century.
