"The Corsican-pest; or, Belzebub Going To Supper" is a satirical print created by the renowned British caricaturist James Gillray in 1803. This work is a vivid example of Gillray's biting political satire and his ability to encapsulate the sentiments of his time through his art. The print is a commentary on the political climate of the early 19th century, particularly focusing on the figure of Napoleon Bonaparte, who is depicted as the titular "Corsican-pest."

In this caricature, Napoleon is portrayed in a grotesque and demonic manner, emphasizing the widespread British perception of him as a malevolent force in Europe. The title itself, "Belzebub Going To Supper," alludes to the biblical demon Beelzebub, further underscoring the negative view of Napoleon as a destructive and evil figure. This portrayal reflects the intense animosity and fear that Napoleon inspired in Britain during his rise to power and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars.

Gillray's work is characterized by its detailed and exaggerated style, which serves to amplify the satirical impact of the image. The print would have been widely circulated and viewed by the British public, contributing to the popular anti-Napoleonic sentiment of the time. Through his art, Gillray not only entertained but also influenced public opinion, making his works significant both as pieces of art and as historical documents.

"The Corsican-pest; or, Belzebub Going To Supper" is a testament to Gillray's skill in combining artistic talent with sharp political commentary. It remains an important piece in the study of early 19th-century British satire and the cultural response to Napoleon's influence in Europe.
