![[George Frederic Handel] The Charming Brute.](jpegs/58329.jpg)
[George Frederic Handel] The Charming Brute. The figures odd - yest who wou'd think Within this Tun of Meat and Drink, There dwells the soul of Soft Desires, And all that Harmony inspires; Can contrast such as this be found? Upon the Globe's extensive Round; There can - you Hogshead is his Seat His sole Devotion is to Eat.
[Joseph Goupy]
[n.d. c.1754]
Fine hand coloured etching, plate 320 x 245mm (11¾ x 9¾"). Narrow margins, long repaired tear bottom right corner, other small tears. Some creasing within the plate mark. Surface dirt.
A verson of Joseph Goupy's caricature of George Frederic Händel (1685-1759). It depicts him as a gluttonous pig sitting on a barrel of wine at the organ surrounded by instruments, dead chickens, plus food and drink such as 'Turtle soup'. A shopping list unfurls from his pocket encompassing entirely of expensive delicacies. Handel and Goupy were good friends until they had a falling out in 1743 which caused Goupy to produce this satire.
See BM Satires: 3273 for other version.
