Love Bites marks the 200th anniversary of the death of the great caricaturist James Gillray (1756–1815). His political and social satires were the Private Eye of his day – unflinchingly cruel at times, but keenly anticipated and collected. The exhibition takes a fresh look at Gillray's work, focusing on the unusual angle of his portrayal of marriages and alliances, be they sexual, political or bizarrely anatomical. It also explores Gillray's devotion to high art and his classical training and shows how Rubens, in particular, was a key influence. The exhibition features sixty works taken from the outstanding collection of New College, Oxford, one of the greatest and best-preserved groups of Gillray's work. On the occasion of the exhibition, New College has commissioned a new cartoon from the Guardian's Martin Rowson which will be displayed for the first time in Love Bites.
