EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment of profound symbolism and irreverence. In the artwork titled "The lady admiring herself in the mirror sees only a reflection of the Demon's posterior" we witness an intriguing portrayal of vanity and temptation. Created by the Knight Marquard vom Stein in 1498, this German School masterpiece delves into the complexities of human nature. In this scene, a flirtatious woman gazes at her own reflection in a mirror, seeking validation and admiration for her beauty. However, to her surprise, she is met with an unexpected sight - instead of her own image, she sees only the posterior of a demon. This clever depiction serves as a powerful symbol for vanity and narcissism. The devil's irreverent conduct towards this coquettish woman highlights our tendency to be consumed by our own appearance and desires. It mocks our haughtiness and warns us against falling prey to capital sins such as pride. Through intricate engraving techniques, Stefano Bianchetti brings this 15th-century artwork to life once again. The colors used add depth and vibrancy to every detail captured on paper. "The lady admiring herself in the mirror sees only a reflection of the Demon's posterior" invites viewers to reflect upon their own habits of self-obsession and serves as a reminder that true beauty lies beyond mere appearances.
