EDITORS COMMENTS
Kept In (oil on canvas) captures the intense emotions of a Victorian schoolroom, as depicted by artist John Burr. This print from The Drambuie Collection in Edinburgh, Scotland, offers a glimpse into the strict disciplinary practices of the era. In this scene, a young child sits at a desk with an angry expression and clenched fist, clearly experiencing feelings of frustration and rage. Surrounded by jeering classmates and under the watchful eye of their teacher, who holds a slate for punishment purposes, it is evident that this child has been placed in detention for some transgression. The painting skillfully portrays the atmosphere of tension within the classroom through its use of dark colors and dramatic lighting. The viewer can almost feel the palpable anger emanating from both the punished child and their peers. Burr's work invites contemplation on themes such as education, discipline, and societal norms prevalent during his time. It serves as a reminder of how different educational practices were in comparison to modern times. This thought-provoking piece not only showcases Burr's artistic talent but also sheds light on historical attitudes towards childhood behavior and punishment methods. Kept In (oil on canvas) stands as an enduring testament to our collective past.
