A March to the Bank, 1787
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures a lively scene from the late 18th century, depicted by renowned artist James Gillray. In this vibrant print, we witness a procession of men and women marching through the countryside towards a bank. Dressed in colorful uniforms and period attire, they carry weapons such as bayonets, symbolizing both military might and social unrest. Gillray's artwork reflects the tensions of his time - an era marked by political upheaval and economic struggles. The concept behind this piece suggests discontent with financial institutions and perhaps hints at societal inequality. As these marchers trample over books beneath their feet, it conveys a sense of disrespect for established norms or authority. The setting is reminiscent of Norway in the mid-20th century when this print was published in "A Smile Among Friends". Although created more than 150 years earlier, Gillray's work continues to resonate with audiences across different decades due to its timeless themes. This portrait offers viewers an intriguing glimpse into history while highlighting Gillray's mastery as an artist. Through his skillful use of color and composition, he brings to life a moment that evokes curiosity about the events leading up to this march on the bank. Overall, "A March to the Bank" remains an enduring testament to Gillray's ability to capture complex ideas within visually captivating works of art.
