EDITORS COMMENTS
This print features the cover of "The Don Quixote", number 440, Satirical en Colours, dated November 24th, 1882. Illustrated by Charles Gilbert-Martin (1839-1905), this artwork showcases a satirical portrayal of religious themes and societal issues prevalent during the late 19th century. The image is filled with symbolism and thought-provoking elements. A haloed figure sits at a table adorned with food while being surrounded by ravens, representing both gluttony and corruption within the clergy. The presence of coins suggests financial exploitation associated with religious practices. Anticlericalism is evident as an infantilized judge holds a scepter in one hand while feeding a raven with the other. This juxtaposition highlights the hypocrisy and abuse of power within religious institutions. Through this illustration, Gilbert-Martin critiques the influence of religion on society's moral compass and questions its role in governance. The artist skillfully uses satire to challenge traditional beliefs and shed light on social injustices prevalent at that time. This print offers viewers an opportunity to delve into historical perspectives through art. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, artists were using their craft to voice dissent against prevailing norms and provoke critical thinking among their audience.
