EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back in time to the year 1725, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of Roman military punishments. The etching, skillfully created by renowned British artist William Hogarth, showcases a scene where a soldier is being subjected to an ancient form of discipline known as "taking away". The composition captures our attention with its intricate details and masterful use of light and shadow. In the foreground, we see John Beaver, an unfortunate soldier who has fallen victim to this harsh punishment. His military belt or girdle is forcefully removed by another soldier while he stands with a solemn expression on his face. Hogarth's expertise shines through in this piece as he expertly conveys the emotions and physicality of his subjects. The viewer can almost feel the tension and discomfort radiating from Beaver as he endures this public humiliation. Measuring approximately 1 3/4 x 3 1/16 inches (44.77 cm), this small yet impactful print serves as a window into history, allowing us to reflect upon past practices and their significance within different cultures. As we admire this remarkable artwork, it reminds us of Hogarth's exceptional talent for capturing human experiences and shedding light on societal issues through his artistry. This particular piece serves as a testament to his ability to transport viewers across time and space while provoking contemplation about justice systems throughout history.
