"Ticked Off: Exploring the Art through History" In this captivating collection, we delve into the intriguing world of scolding, a universal human experience that transcends time and culture. From Cecil Aldin's mischievous "Pussy Cat, Pussy Cat" to Jean-Baptiste Greuze's poignant "Broken Eggs, " these artworks vividly depict moments of reprimand and admonishment. Through a range of mediums including lithographs, engravings, and photographs, artists have captured the essence in various contexts. A mother scolds her son in a color lithograph while couples engage in a heated exchange during "The Waltz. " The power dynamics are explored further in "The Reprimand, " where an engraving portrays authority figures disciplining their subjects. Even literary works find inspiration from scolding; Charles Perrault's classic tale "Bluebeard" is brought to life through an evocative 1893 engraving. Meanwhile, historical events like Alfred the Great burning the cakes serve as cautionary tales reminding us that even great leaders can face reproach. Beyond human interactions, art reveals mythical narratives too. In an enchanting detail from the Chamber of Cupid and Psyche by Venus' side stands Eros being scolded—a reminder that even gods can be held accountable for their actions. Not limited to familial or societal relationships alone, scolding extends its reach to humorous situations as well. Hablot Knight Browne's delightful illustration titled "A Lecture. " captures comical moments when someone receives an earful with amusing consequences. Similarly light-hearted is "Mother-in-Law Teasing the Bride, " showcasing playful banter within family dynamics. Finally, we encounter one peculiar artifact—the Scolds Bridle—an engraved contraption designed to silence unruly women during medieval times—serving as a chilling reminder of oppressive practices endured by some throughout history.
