EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving from the 17th century, titled "Man discovering a couple having sex" offers a glimpse into the scandalous and secretive world of past eras. The artwork, created by an unknown German School artist, showcases a man stumbling upon an intimate encounter between a couple in the countryside. The scene is set amidst lush green pastures, with the stone church and public monument serving as witnesses to this forbidden act. The architectural details add depth to the composition, highlighting the skilled craftsmanship of the period. The figures are dressed in typical attire of their time - hats and summer clothes that reflect both fashion trends and social norms. Their clothing adds another layer of historical context to this intriguing portrayal. This engraving is part of Eduard Fuchs' renowned work, "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" which explores societal customs throughout history. It was published in Munich around 1910. As we observe this piece today, it serves as a reminder of how human desires have transcended time and cultural boundaries. Despite being created centuries ago, its themes remain relatable even in our modern society. Bridgeman Images has preserved this remarkable artwork for us to appreciate its artistic merit and delve into its historical significance.
