The Captive (painting)
''The Captive, from Sterne'' is a painting by Joseph Wright of Derby completed in 1774 and now in the Vancouver Art Gallery. ''Sterne's Captive'', first exhibited by the artist in 1778, is a similar painting by Wright in the Derby Museum and Art Gallery. The latter painting resulted in a very rare engraving, as its purchaser commissioned a print run of only twenty copies before the copper printing plate was destroyed. In 2012, Derby Museum commissioned another ''Captive painting'' from Emma Tooth.
==Description==
Both paintings shows the despair of a traveller who finds himself abandoned in a foreign jail.〔 ''The Captive'' title is based on the section of the same name in Laurence Sterne's ''A Sentimental Journey Through France and Italy'' (1768). In the episode in question, the hero of the story, Yorick, imagines that he is imprisoned in the Bastille because he has lost his passport. Yorick is later released because his name is taken to indicate that he is an important person, because he is a court jester: Yorick is a jester in Shakespeare's play ''Hamlet''. The journey takes place in 1762, when Britain was at war with France, and imprisonment was a real possibility for a traveller from a hostile country.
