1650 Cavalier Cromwell Drum English Civil War Fairfax Oliver Pipe Playing Card Puritan Royalist Satire Spade
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "PURITANS: SATIRE, c1650" takes us back to a significant period in history - the English Civil War. The image depicts a satirical scene where Oliver Cromwell is seen playing a pipe and blowing smoke towards his ally, Sir Thomas Fairfax. This cleverly crafted satire mocks the Puritans, who were known for their strict religious beliefs and opposition to entertainment. The composition of this print resembles an English royalist playing card from around 1650, adding another layer of historical context. The use of symbols such as the drum, spade, cavalier hat, and puritan's attire further emphasizes the divide between these two factions during that tumultuous time. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the complexities and tensions that existed within society during the English Civil War. It serves as a reminder that even in times of conflict and strife, humor can be used as a tool to express dissenting opinions or challenge prevailing ideologies. Granger Art on Demand has once again provided us with an intriguing glimpse into history through this thought-provoking photo print. As we admire this piece, let us reflect on how art continues to capture moments from our past and spark conversations about our shared human experience.
