"Titianus Redivivus;-or-the Seven Wise Men Consulting The New Venetian Oracle" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1797. Known for his sharp wit and keen eye for political and social commentary, Gillray's works often targeted the prominent figures and issues of his time, and this particular piece is no exception.

The print is a vivid and intricate composition that lampoons the political landscape of late 18th-century Britain. It features seven prominent British politicians, depicted as the "Seven Wise Men," consulting a Venetian oracle. The title "Titianus Redivivus" suggests a revival of the style of the famous Renaissance painter Titian, hinting at a blend of classical artistic influence with contemporary satire.

In this work, Gillray employs his characteristic exaggerated style to caricature the politicians, rendering them with grotesque features and exaggerated expressions that underscore their perceived follies and vices. The scene is rich with symbolic elements and allegorical references, inviting viewers to decode the layers of meaning embedded in the imagery. The Venetian oracle, a central figure in the composition, serves as a metaphor for the elusive and often dubious nature of political wisdom and foresight.

Gillray's print was produced during a period of intense political turmoil and public debate in Britain, marked by the ongoing wars with Revolutionary France and internal conflicts over issues such as reform and governance. By invoking the grandeur and mystique of Venetian oracles, Gillray critiques the politicians' reliance on dubious counsel and their often misguided decisions.

"Titianus Redivivus;-or-the Seven Wise Men Consulting The New Venetian Oracle" exemplifies Gillray's mastery of the art of caricature and his ability to convey complex political commentary through visual satire. The print remains a significant work in the history of British satirical art, reflecting the anxieties and absurdities of its time with enduring relevance.
