EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolithography print from the late 19th century, titled "Anecdotal history of food: spirit drinks (fermented drinks)" takes us back in time to a biblical scene filled with symbolism and intrigue. In this image, we witness Samson, a prominent figure from the Bible, succumbing to the influence of Dalilas liqueurs. The artist skillfully portrays Samson as he allows his hair to be cut under the spell of these potent spirits. As his locks fall to the ground, so does his strength and power. This moment captures a pivotal event in Samson's life when he loses everything that made him extraordinary. The use of vibrant colors in this chocolate-louit chromolithography adds depth and intensity to the narrative. The woman representing Delilah stands beside Samson, her presence suggesting temptation and deceit. Through this artwork, we are reminded of the consequences that can arise from indulging in excessive alcohol consumption. Beyond its religious connotations, this piece also sheds light on historical perspectives surrounding fermented drinks and their impact on society throughout different eras. It serves as an anecdotal reminder of how certain foods or beverages have shaped human experiences over time. Preserved within a private collection today, this anonymous masterpiece by Stefano Bianchetti continues to captivate viewers with its rich storytelling and intricate details.
