Légende

'An Allegory', c1820-1825, (1922). 'Epitome of James Hervey's "Meditations among the Tombs"', watercolour dealing with death and grief, inspired by the work of James Hervey (1714-1758). Hervey himself is depicted in the foreground with his back to the viewer, at the foot of a staircase which winds heavenward to God. Other figures represent angels, the dead and the bereaved. Despite the pain caused by early death, the message is that there will be an eventual re-uniting of the parted in heaven. Painting in the Tate Gallery, London. From "Bibby's Annual 1922", edited by Joseph Bibby. [J. Bibby & Sons, London, 1922]
