EDITORS COMMENTS
Finis Coronat Opus! (colour litho) captures the essence of 19th-century political satire with its scathing and humorous depiction of the defeated Prime Minister. Created by Matthew "Matt". Somerville in 1868, this colourful lithograph was originally published in The Tomahawk magazine on December 19th, during a time of great political turmoil. The cartoon portrays a kneeling figure, representing Benjamin Disraeli, the Ex-Premier of England, who is humorously depicted as being subservient to his wife. This satirical drawing mocks Disraeli's loss in the 1868 general election and pokes fun at his perceived weakness under the influence of Viscountess Beaconsfield. With its clever use of caricature and wit, this artwork reflects both conservative sentiments and popular humor prevalent in Victorian Britain. It highlights the power dynamics within politics while providing comic relief through exaggerated imagery. As a significant piece from that era's political cartoons, Finis Coronat Opus! exemplifies how art can be used to critique those in power. Its vibrant colors and detailed illustrations make it an intriguing historical artifact that offers insight into British politics during this period. This print from Fine Art Finder allows us to appreciate Somerville's artistic skill while also reminding us of the enduring relevance of political satire throughout history.
