[title not known] Possibly 1843

Editor: Here we have an untitled piece by John Linnell. It looks like a wood engraving of a woman in a wheelchair, gazing towards the sky. What strikes me is the contrast between her stillness and the implied movement of the light. What’s your take on it? Curator: It's interesting to consider how Linnell uses this medium to convey both the woman’s physical constraints and her spiritual aspirations. Given the social context of 19th-century England, how do you see this image engaging with prevailing ideas about disability and representation? Editor: That's a great question, I am not sure. I will research that. Thanks! Curator: Absolutely. Remember, art often reflects and shapes the cultural narratives of its time.
