The Death of Chatterton

Painting by Henry Wallis

[serhonney]

This is based on the painting 'Chatterton' by Henry Wallis, exhibited in 1856.

The original subject, Thomas Chatterton, is actually a young tragic figure. The Tate Britain (where it is held) has the caption as:

In the 18th century, the impoverished young poet Thomas Chatterton was exposed as a fraud after he sold fake medieval poems. He struggled to earn a living writing tales and songs. Penniless, he took his own life by drinking arsenic at the age of 17. To many Victorian viewers, Chatterton represented the growing divide between the values of the individual artist and the materialism of wider Victorian society. When he first exhibited the painting, Henry Wallis accompanied it with a quotation from the poet Christopher Marlowe: ‘Cut is the branch that might have grown straight’.

I think that it is interesting how the new context of OFMD makes it a comedy piece.
