Painted by renowned artist Thomas Rowlandson and architect George Dance Jr. , this image showcases a day gallery within the hospital where female patients resided. St Lukes Hospital was a significant lunatic asylum designed to provide care for those suffering from mental illness. The architectural brilliance of George Dance Jr. is evident in each patient's individual room, emphasizing their privacy and comfort. The concept of insanity is explored through this artwork, shedding light on the prevailing attitudes towards mental health during that era. The vibrant colors used in this aquatint print bring life to an otherwise somber subject matter.
