Verlag: Art Journal

Beschreibung

The print titled "GULLIVER IN BROBDINGNAG" is a steel engraving created in 1846, based on an original work by Richard Redgrave and engraved by Jas. Mollison. The image depicts a scene from Jonathan Swift's satirical novel "Gulliver's Travels," specifically from the section where the protagonist, Lemuel Gulliver, finds himself in the land of Brobdingnag, a realm inhabited by giants. In the foreground, Gulliver, a diminutive figure in elaborate period clothing, stands before a group of enormous Brobdingnagians, who appear both curious and somewhat menacing. The giants' faces loom large, expressing a mix of fascination and bewilderment as they examine the tiny Gulliver. The background includes various oversized objects, such as a large key and a basket of fruit, emphasizing the stark contrast in size between Gulliver and the Brobdingnagians. The print is signed "RICHARD REDGRAVE A.R.A. PINXIT" and "JAS. MOLLISON SCULPT," indicating the artist and engraver, respectively. Richard Redgrave was a prominent British artist known for his genre paintings and illustrations, while James Mollison was a skilled engraver of the period. This engraving captures the whimsical and fantastical elements of Swift's novel, highlighting the themes of scale and perspective that are central to Gulliver's adventures.
