The Dull Sermon
EDITORS COMMENTS
by John Collet captures a moment of both humor and relatability in the realm of religious services. This delightful print, part of the Michael Gillingham Collection, transports us to an English church during the 18th century. As we observe the scene, it becomes evident that not all sermons are created equal. In this comical depiction, a weary vicar stands at his pulpit delivering what can only be described as a monotonous sermon. The congregation's expressions range from boredom to outright sleepiness, with some struggling to keep their eyes open. It is clear that this particular service lacks the fervor and passion one would hope for. Collet's attention to detail is remarkable; every character in the print has been meticulously portrayed with subtle facial expressions and body language that perfectly capture their disinterest. From children fidgeting in their pews to elderly parishioners dozing off, each individual adds depth and authenticity to this amusing scene. "The Dull Sermon" serves as a reminder that even within sacred spaces, human nature prevails. We have all experienced moments when our minds wander or our eyelids grow heavy during lengthy speeches or lectures – even those delivered from pulpits! This timeless artwork invites us to chuckle at ourselves while appreciating Collet's skillful portrayal of everyday life. Courtesy of www. bridgemanimages. com
