Painting Description
"Strawberries, Scarlet Strawberries" is the ninth plate in the series "The Cries of London," which is a collection of prints depicting various street vendors in London during the late 18th century. The series was painted by Francis Wheatley (1747–1801), an English portrait and landscape painter. This particular plate was engraved by Giovanni Vendramini (1769–1839), a notable Italian engraver who worked in England, and was published by Colnaghi & Co. in 1795.
The "Cries of London" series is celebrated for its vivid portrayal of urban life, capturing the bustling commerce and diverse characters found in London's streets. Wheatley's attention to detail and his ability to convey the atmosphere of the period have made these works significant both artistically and historically. "Strawberries, Scarlet Strawberries" showcases a street vendor, likely a young woman, calling out her wares, which was a common way for vendors to attract customers in an era before modern advertising.
The print is characterized by Wheatley's refined brushwork and Vendramini's skilled engraving, which together create a scene that is both picturesque and lively. The series gained popularity and was well-received in its time, leading to Wheatley's election as a Royal Academician. Today, "The Cries of London" is regarded as an important record of London's social history and serves as a testament to the collaborative artistry of painter and engraver in the production of prints during the Georgian era.
