The Suicide, c1780-1825. Creator: Thomas Rowlandson
The Suicide, c1780-1825. This is one of the few drawings of Rowlandsons where humor is not dominant. However, the sincerity of the wife, who has collapsed, compared to that of the horror-stricken attendants, is a matter of conjecture. From " The Watercolour Drawings of Thomas Rowlandson from the Albert H. Wiggin Collection in the Boston Public Library" with commentary by Arthur W. Heintzelman. [Watson-Guptill Publications, Inc. New York, 1947]

The Suicide
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Thomas Rowlandson is a captivating and thought-provoking print that diverges from the artist's usual humorous style. In this piece, Rowlandson explores the darker aspects of human nature with a touch of ambiguity. The central figure, a man who has taken his own life, lies motionless on the ground while surrounded by horrified attendants. The composition raises intriguing questions about the emotions depicted in this scene. The collapsed wife exudes an undeniable sincerity that contrasts sharply with the shock and horror expressed by those around her. It leaves us wondering about their relationship and what might have led to such a tragic outcome. Rowlandson's mastery is evident in his ability to convey drama through intricate details. From the carefully rendered expressions of despair on each face to the meticulously executed clothing and weaponry, every element adds depth to this poignant narrative. This artwork serves as a reminder of society's complex struggles during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, encompassing themes such as debt, gambling, marriage woes, and mental health issues. Through his satirical lens, Rowlandson sheds light on these societal challenges while also inviting viewers to reflect upon their own lives. "The Suicide" stands as a testament to Rowlandson's versatility as an artist beyond humor-driven works. Its emotional impact resonates even today, making it an invaluable addition to any art collection or exhibition dedicated to exploring human experiences throughout history.
