The Good Man at the Hour of Death. When from this Life calls the Just away, Serene he does the pleasing Call obey. Of all Offence he finds his Conscience clear, And all is Hope, and nothing is to fear.
[After Francis Hayman]
[Republished by Robert Sayer] [n.d. c.1794]
Rare mezzotint 355 x 330mm (14 x 13"), large margins. Crease lower centre. Laid on backing sheet repaired small tears to margins. Small margins left and right.
The 'Good Man' is approached by Old Father Time, who holds out an hourglass. Republished by Robert Sayer after engravings published by Boydell., with slight reworking to the image, for example the facial features. 'These two large engravings, published by Boydell in 1783, are the only surviving record of a fascinating decorative scheme commissioned by Jonathan Tyers [proprietor of Vauxhall Gardens], probably in the late 1740s, for the garden of his weekend retreat, Denbies, near Dorking in Surrey. If Vauxhall Gardens was designed primarily for public enjoyment, then, by contrast, Denbies was created for Jonathan Tyers' personal delectation and reflects his apparent preoccupation with the theme of death and "momento mori"' (Allen). Hayman, who also produced large decorative paintings for Tyers at Vauxhall, for this commission made two life-size pictures (to which these engravings are related) which were installed inside an amphitheatre in Tyers' garden at Denbies. The paintings, were, 'along with all traces of this macabre garden, destroyed soon after Tyers' death in 1767'.
