"Alecto and Her Train, At The Gate Of Pandemonium" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1796. Gillray, often celebrated for his incisive and often scathing social and political commentary, employs his characteristic wit and artistic skill in this work to critique the tumultuous political landscape of his time. The print is a vivid example of Gillray's ability to blend classical references with contemporary issues, creating a rich tapestry of symbolism and allegory.

The central figure in the print is Alecto, one of the Furies from Greek mythology, who is traditionally associated with unceasing anger and punishment. In Gillray's depiction, Alecto is portrayed as a menacing figure, leading a chaotic procession towards the gates of Pandemonium, a term coined by John Milton in "Paradise Lost" to describe the capital of Hell. This choice of imagery underscores the sense of impending doom and moral decay that Gillray perceived in the political sphere.

Surrounding Alecto are various figures that represent different facets of society and government, each rendered with Gillray's signature grotesque exaggeration. These characters often include recognizable political figures of the era, depicted in a manner that highlights their perceived vices and follies. The composition of the print is dynamic and crowded, reflecting the chaotic and tumultuous nature of the events Gillray is commenting on.

Gillray's work is notable not only for its artistic merit but also for its historical significance. His prints provide a window into the public sentiment and political climate of late 18th-century Britain. "Alecto and Her Train, At The Gate Of Pandemonium" is a quintessential example of how Gillray used his art to engage with and critique the world around him, making it an important piece in the study of both art history and political satire.
