King of Prussia (colour litho)
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating 19th-century satirical cartoon created by James Jacques Joseph Tissot. This print, part of a private collection, depicts the King of Prussia in an amusing and scathing satire published on January 7,1871, in Vanity Fair magazine. In this caricature, titled "Les mangeoit pour soi refraischir devant souper" we see the King of Prussia enjoying a sumptuous feast before supper. The artist's sharp wit and attention to detail are evident as he mocks the extravagant lifestyle and gluttonous tendencies of European royalty during that era. Tissot's skillful use of color lithography brings vibrancy to the scene, capturing every intricate detail with precision. The artwork transports viewers back to the late nineteenth century when France was at odds with Prussia. This satirical drawing not only showcases Tissot's talent as a painter but also serves as a social commentary on French culture and its relationship with Europe during that time. It offers insight into political tensions and societal norms prevalent in both France and Germany during this period. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we are reminded of the power art holds to convey complex messages through visual storytelling. Tissot's "King of Prussia (colour litho)" continues to captivate audiences today with its cleverness and artistic brilliance.
