The Hidden Treasure (The Parables of Our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ) 1864 After Sir John Everett Millais British It took Millais seven years to design twenty images inspired by New Testament Parables for the Dalziel Brothers, and the resulting prints are considered pinnacles of wood engraved illustration. The artist wrote to his publishers, "I can do ordinary drawings as quickly as most men, but these designs can scarcely be regarded in the same lighteach Parable I illustrate perhaps a dozen times before I fix [the image." After completing a design, Millais transferred it to a woodblock coated with "Chinese" white for skilled engravers to carve. Finally, he reviewed proofs, and final adjustments were made before the final printing.The Parable of the Hidden Treasure (Matthew 14: 44-46) compares "The kingdom of heaven [to...treasure hidden in a field. When a man found it, he hid it again, and then in his joy went and sold all he had and bought that field." Pre-Raphaelite ideals sha

Cymon and Iphigenia 1796 James Gillray British Gillray here parodies a tale found in Boccaccio's Decameron and Dryden's Fables. While walking in the countryside, Cymon, a "fool of nature," encounters the sleeping Iphigenia, whose beauty provokes his exaggerated delight. Unlike the maiden of those stories, Gillray's sleeper is no elegant beauty. Nor is there any indication that love will reform her admirer's brutish character. Indeed, Cymon's lecherous expression suggests the opposite. The artist likely intended a political message, using Iphigenia's dark skin and African features to refer to contemporary debate over the slave trade. In 1796, the British Parliament voted down a bill to outlaw the trade and, since Gillray's Cymon is shown about to succumb to his baser instincts, the image likely criticizes Britain's politicians for doing the same..
