Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking biography charts the life of Charles Samuel Keene, one of Punch magazine's most acclaimed illustrators, revealing a complex and fascinating character. Drawing from a wealth of unpublished material, including letters, sketches, and reminiscences from friends and family, the author meticulously reconstructs Keene's personal and professional journey. Born in 1823, Keene exhibited early artistic talent, which led him to an apprenticeship with the Whymper engraving firm. His association with Punch began in 1851, and he swiftly rose to prominence, becoming known for his masterful pen-and-ink drawings that captured the social and political landscape of Victorian England with wit and precision. The author provides insightful analysis of Keene's work, exploring the influence of his education, contemporaries, and personal experiences on his unique style. Keene's profound understanding of human nature, eye for detail, and technical brilliance are examined in depth, shedding light on his enduring legacy as a master of satirical illustration. This meticulously researched biography not only offers an intimate portrait of a remarkable artist but also provides valuable insights into the cultural and artistic climate of Victorian England. It is an essential read for enthusiasts of Keene's work, art historians, and anyone interested in the history of illustration and caricature.
