EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a 17th century engraved illustration from a collection of proverbs, created by the talented French engraver Jacques Lagniet. Known for his socially critical engravings and mockery pictures, Lagniet's work often featured grotesque and fantastic illustrations that captured the essence of the time period. The intricate details in this particular engraving transport viewers back to Paris in the years 1657-1663, where Lagniet's creativity flourished. Each stroke of his burin tells a story, shedding light on the societal norms and values of that era. As we gaze upon this historical artwork, we are reminded of the power of visual storytelling and how art has always been a reflection of society. Lagniet's ability to convey complex ideas through his engravings is truly remarkable, leaving us with much to ponder about human nature and our collective history. This print serves as a window into the past, allowing us to appreciate not only Lagniet's skill as an engraver but also his keen insight into the world around him.
