EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled ""At home, everyone is king" showcases an intriguing illustration from a collection of 18th-century proverbs. Created by an unknown artist during the 18th century, this artwork offers a glimpse into the morals and language of that era. The engraving depicts a scene where humans and animals coexist in harmony within their shared habitat. A hen sits at the center of attention, surrounded by individuals enjoying a homemade meal. The image symbolizes the maxim that within one's own dwelling, every being holds authority and importance. Through this thought-provoking composition, the artist subtly highlights human vices such as lust while emphasizing the significance of family values and domesticity. The intricate details in both expression and posture capture the essence of each character portrayed, adding depth to their roles in conveying moral lessons. Giancarlo Costa masterfully brings this historical artwork to life through his expert curation. As part of his private collection, he preserves not only its aesthetic beauty but also its educational value for future generations. With its rich cultural context and timeless message about familial bonds transcending societal hierarchies, this engraving serves as a testament to how art can encapsulate profound ideas within seemingly simple imagery.
