Gentle gorilla Etoumbie is swapping the good life for a sex life, as he bids farewell to his comfortable habitat and embarks on a journey back to his natural home. With a heart full of Rock n' Roll beats, he sets off on an adventure that promises new beginnings and exciting encounters. In the engraving titled 'Going Home, ' we witness the dispersion of works from the Great Exhibition of 1851, symbolizing the end of an era and the return to familiar surroundings. As depicted in Hogarth's illustration 'Times of the Day: Evening, ' it captures the essence of tranquility as individuals make their way home after a long day. From children joyfully coming out of school in a colored engraving dating back to 1812, to students leaving Lycee Janson de Sailly at four o'clock captured beautifully in a color photograph, these scenes evoke nostalgia for simpler times and cherished memories. As we delve into history through art forms like cartoons or oil paintings such as 'Leaving The Hills' from 1874, we are reminded that going home signifies more than just physical relocation; it represents emotional connections and personal growth. Amidst all this transition lies one constant - food. Whether it's enjoying pizza for four or relishing delicious meals at any time illustrated by Hogarth's work again – evenings hold special significance when returning home, and is where stories are shared over hearty dinners and laughter fills every corner. Finally, with 'Going Home' portrayed in an oil painting from ca 1889 measuring approximately 30 7/8 x 39 1/4 inches (78. 4 x 99. 7 cm), we witness how artists have immortalized this universal experience throughout centuries. It serves as a reminder that no matter our origins or destinations, there is always something magical about going back where we belong.
