“Miss Ferrier avowedly made thumb-nail sketches,—as is proved in one of the few surviving letters to or from her,—out of which grew the merciless caricatures that created her fame”

—an 1893 article in 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘈𝘵𝘭𝘢𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘤 contrasting Sussan Ferrier & Jane Austen

“It is a truth universally acknowledged…”

Susan Ferrier’s 2nd novel 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦 (1824) starts with a nod & wink to Jane Austen’s 𝘗𝘳𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘗𝘳𝘦𝘫𝘶𝘥𝘪𝘤𝘦 (1813). In 1818, Blackwood’s paid £150 for 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦; it is a testament to Ferrier’s popularity that they paid £1000 for 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦

Susan Ferrier (1782–1854) was born #OTD, 7 Sept. Her 3 novels – 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘳𝘪𝘢𝘨𝘦, 𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘐𝘯𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘯𝘤𝘦, & 𝘋𝘦𝘴𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘺 – are vivid & humorous accounts of Scottish society. Often compared to her contemporary Jane Austen, Ferrier’s satires are much more vicious…

"Still Life with Golden Bream," Francisco Goya, 1808-12.

Francisco José de Goya y Lucientes (1746-1828) is one of the all-time greats. When painting portraits, he could communicate a lot about the sitter while still depicting them more-or-less fairly. But he was also an exceptional caricaturist who ruthlessly dissected human foibles. He could paint historical works but also do works that were sharply critical of the times he was in. And he also produced many bizarre works that seem to be his savage depictions of human fears.

What he was NOT known for was still lifes, and the ones by him can be counted on one's fingers.

Here we have some fish in a heap by the shore. At just a glance, it seems normal, but bear in mind this was painted during the Peninsular War, when Napoleon was invading Spain and fighting was all over. Then those goggling fish eyes take on a sense of pathos. It's a heap of the dead, left on the seashore, sacrificed by a desire for conquest.

That's how good Goya was. He can paint a still life of fish and turn it into a commentary on war.
