EDITORS COMMENTS
This hand-coloured etching titled "Ancient Music" is a satirical masterpiece published by S. W. Fores in 1787, created by the renowned artist James Gillray. The artwork measures 42.7x55.1 cm and is currently housed at New College, Oxford. In this scene, we witness King George III and Queen Charlotte enraptured by a parody of an orchestra performance. The composition is filled with whimsical elements that add to its charm and humor: William Pitt amusingly plays the recorder and rattle while surrounded by bickering musicians; hounds chase a dog with a mask tied to its tail; a screeching cat hangs from the ceiling. The cartoonish exaggeration continues as we observe various characters throughout the image - from beatific cherubs to grotesque demons, fauns, owls, and even fishwives joining in on the cacophony of sound. A sleeping goat peacefully rests amidst all the chaos. Gillray's social satire shines through as he pokes fun at both high-ranking figures like Prime Minister William Pitt and ordinary individuals alike. This Georgian-era caricature showcases his talent for capturing absurdity within society. With intricate details meticulously engraved into every corner of this print, it invites viewers into a world where music becomes travesty and harmony transforms into discordance. "Ancient Music" remains an extraordinary portrayal of fictional characters intertwined with historical figures in one wonderful yet monstrous ensemble – truly encapsulating Gillray's unique style that has made him one of history's most celebrated satirical artists.
