Fast forward to Paris at the turn of the century, where La Goulue takes center stage at Moulin Rouge.

Traveling further back in time to c. 1550-60, we encounter a mesmerizing wool, silk & silver-gilt thread artwork titled "Gluttony. " Its intricate details depict opulence and overindulgence as key themes within society during that era. "The Gluttonous Fool, " depicted through an enchanting engraving, serves as a cautionary tale against succumbing to one's voracious cravings without restraint or reason. It reminds us that unchecked desire can lead to foolishness. A portrait said to be Joseph Fry transports us to 1816—an era when even individuals were associated with gluttony due to their insatiable appetites for wealth or power.
