EDITORS COMMENTS
This satirical sketch from the 15th century depicts a man touching a woman's breast, captured in a copper engraving. The artwork is part of a private collection and was created by an unknown German artist. It is believed to be inspired by the seven deadly sins, particularly lust, which was often depicted during the Middle Ages. The illustration comes from Eduard Fuchs' book "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" (Illustrated History of Manners from the Middle Ages to the Present), published in Munich around 1910. This publication aimed to explore various aspects of human behavior throughout history. In this scene, we see a reflection of society's fascination with beauty care and sexuality during the Renaissance period. The man appears captivated by his own image in the mirror while reaching out to touch the woman's breast. It serves as a reminder of how vice and desire can cloud one's judgment. The engraving adds depth and detail to this historical piece, allowing us to delve into its intricate symbolism. While controversial for modern standards, it offers valuable insights into societal norms and attitudes towards gender dynamics during that era. This print serves as both an artistic representation and historical artifact that sheds light on our past perceptions of femininity, masculinity, desire, and morality.
