EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating engraving "Greed, c. 1720" takes us back to the opulent world of 18th-century France. This exquisite piece by the French School showcases a woman indulging in one of the seven deadly sins - gluttony. Her insatiable desire for food is depicted with remarkable detail and emotion. Dressed in fashionable attire of the era, this lady epitomizes the excesses of her time. The artist skillfully captures her voracious appetite as she savors a sumptuous meal, surrounded by an array of delectable dishes and delicacies. Every line etched on this print tells a story of greed and extravagance. Intriguingly, this engraving not only portrays a momentary scene but also offers us a glimpse into daily life during the 18th century. It serves as a historical document that sheds light on societal norms and values at that time. Beyond its aesthetic appeal, "Greed" evokes contemplation about human nature itself - our desires, weaknesses, and how they can consume us if left unchecked. It reminds us that even centuries ago, people grappled with their own inner demons. This remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images invites viewers to reflect upon their own relationship with material possessions and desires while immersing themselves in the beauty and complexity of 18th-century fashion and culture.
