Painting Description
"Mr C.n. Newdegate" is a caricature created by the renowned Italian artist and caricaturist Carlo Pellegrini. Pellegrini, who worked under the pseudonym "Ape," was a prominent figure in the world of satirical art during the late 19th century. He is best known for his contributions to the British magazine "Vanity Fair," where he produced a series of caricatures of notable figures of the time, capturing their essence with a blend of humor and artistic skill.
The subject of this particular caricature, Mr. Charles Newdigate Newdegate, was a British Conservative politician known for his staunch opposition to the Roman Catholic Church and his advocacy for agricultural interests. Born on July 14, 1816, Newdegate served as a Member of Parliament for over four decades, representing North Warwickshire from 1843 until his death in 1887. His political career was marked by his fervent support for Protestant causes and his involvement in various legislative efforts aimed at curbing the influence of Catholicism in Britain.
Pellegrini's depiction of Mr. Newdegate is characteristic of his style, which often exaggerated the physical features and mannerisms of his subjects to highlight their personalities and public personas. The caricature likely appeared in "Vanity Fair" during Newdegate's tenure in Parliament, providing contemporary audiences with a visual commentary on his political stance and character.
Pellegrini's work, including "Mr C.n. Newdegate," remains significant in the study of Victorian-era caricature and political satire. His ability to encapsulate the essence of his subjects through exaggerated yet insightful portrayals has left a lasting legacy in the art world. The caricatures he created for "Vanity Fair" continue to be appreciated for their historical value and artistic merit, offering a window into the personalities and politics of the 19th century.
