EDITORS COMMENTS
Caption: "Jealous Monster, 1778" by John Hamilton Mortimer is a captivating etching from the 18th century that depicts a scene of mythical creatures and seduction. This particular print is part of a series of six artworks showcasing monsters engaging in either alluring or tumultuous encounters with beautiful sea nymphs. In this monochrome masterpiece, Mortimer skillfully captures the concept of jealousy through an intense portrayal of violence and aggression. The British artist's attention to detail brings forth the raw emotions experienced by both the jealous monster and its female victim. The creature's menacing presence looms over the vulnerable lady, highlighting her nakedness as a symbol of vulnerability. Mortimer's artistic prowess shines through his masterful use of black and white tones, creating a dramatic contrast that adds depth to the composition. Through this striking visual language, he delves into mythology to explore themes such as desire, power dynamics, and human nature. This rare print serves as an intriguing window into 18th-century Britain's fascination with mythical beasts and their interactions with humanity. Preserved by The Print Collector (not affiliated with any commercial entity), it stands as a testament to Mortimer's talent for capturing complex narratives within single images. As we gaze upon "Jealous Monster" we are transported back in time to witness an enthralling moment where beauty intertwines with danger—a timeless reminder that even in mythological realms, jealousy can unleash violent forces upon unsuspecting souls.
