Painting Description
"Tentanda via est qua me quoque possim Tollere humo 2" is a notable work by the renowned British caricaturist, James Gillray. Created in 1806, this piece is a prime example of Gillray's satirical style, which was instrumental in defining the genre of political caricature in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The title of the work is a Latin phrase from Virgil's Georgics, which translates to "I too must strive to raise myself from the dust." This phrase is thought to reflect Gillray's own ambition and struggle for recognition in the art world. The piece itself is a caricature of a man, believed to be Gillray himself, attempting to lift himself from the ground using a pair of wings, a visual metaphor for his artistic aspirations. This work is a testament to Gillray's ability to infuse humor and social commentary into his art, making it a significant contribution to the field of caricature.
