Painting Description
"New Mackrel, New Mackrel, plate 5 of The Cries of London" is a notable work by the English painter Francis Wheatley, which was engraved by Nicolo Schiavonetti and published by Colnaghi & Co. in 1795. The piece is part of Wheatley's famous series "The Cries of London," which vividly depicts the street vendors of the late 18th-century London, capturing the vibrancy and the socio-economic milieu of the period. The series is celebrated for its artistic merit as well as its historical significance, offering a window into the everyday life of Londoners at the time.
Plate 5, "New Mackrel, New Mackrel," portrays a fishmonger, a common sight in London's streets, calling out the freshness of his mackerel to attract customers. The image is a testament to Wheatley's skill in rendering figures with a sense of liveliness and character, set against a backdrop that reflects the urban setting. Nicolo Schiavonetti's engraving translates Wheatley's work with fine detail, ensuring the diffusion of the series to a wider audience and contributing to its enduring legacy.
Francis Wheatley (1747–1801) was an esteemed member of the Royal Academy, and his "Cries of London" series is among his most acclaimed works. The series not only showcases Wheatley's artistic prowess but also serves as an important documentary resource for understanding the cultural and social dynamics of London during the 18th century. "New Mackrel, New Mackrel" is a prime example of Wheatley's ability to combine genre painting with portraiture, infusing his subjects with dignity and a sense of individuality. The work remains an essential piece for both art historians and cultural scholars interested in the period.
