"Black Monday" is a notable painting by the English artist William Redmore Bigg, who was active during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Bigg, known for his genre paintings that often depicted scenes of rural life and domestic tranquility, created "Black Monday" to capture a specific cultural moment. The term "Black Monday" historically refers to the first Monday after the Easter holidays, when children would return to school, often with reluctance and trepidation. This painting vividly portrays the emotions associated with this day, focusing on the experiences of young students.

In "Black Monday," Bigg employs his characteristic attention to detail and empathetic portrayal of his subjects. The composition typically features a group of children, some in tears or visibly distressed, as they prepare to leave their homes and head back to school. The setting is often a rural or village scene, emphasizing the contrast between the freedom of the holidays and the structured environment of the classroom. Bigg's use of light and color enhances the emotional impact of the scene, drawing the viewer's eye to the expressions and body language of the children.

The painting is a fine example of Bigg's ability to blend narrative content with a keen observation of human behavior. It reflects the social attitudes of the time towards education and childhood, offering a glimpse into the lives of 18th-century English families. "Black Monday" remains an important work within Bigg's oeuvre, showcasing his skill in capturing the subtleties of everyday life and the universal experiences of joy, sorrow, and the passage of time.
