Comforts of Bath - A Humorous Glimpse into 18th Century Holidaying
EDITORS COMMENTS
. In this delightful hand-tinted print, titled "Comforts of Bath". Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to January 6,1798, capturing the essence of a holiday in the vibrant city of Bath. Known for his satirical and humorous works, Rowlandson's artistry shines through as he playfully depicts various characters indulging in the comforts and pleasures that Bath had to offer. The scene is filled with love and laughter as lovers steal kisses amidst the bustling streets. The hand-coloured details bring out the charm of this eighteenth-century painting, showcasing the fashion trends and social customs of that era. Bath was not only a popular destination for leisure but also renowned for its health benefits. Here we witness individuals seeking relief from ailments like gout or other diseases associated with urban living. Rowlandson cleverly portrays these 'invalid' visitors enjoying their time while simultaneously poking fun at their conditions. This artwork offers a glimpse into an era when holidays were cherished escapes from daily routines. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people found joy in exploring new places and embracing new experiences during their vacations. Preserved by The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece by Thomas Rowlandson continues to captivate viewers today with its witty satire and timeless portrayal of human nature.
