EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Sanguine, from Exercices d Imagination de Differens Characteres et Formes" transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century art. Engraved by R. Brichet and published in Augsbourg in 1783-84, this piece showcases the remarkable talent of Joseph Franz von Goez. The image depicts a seated male figure, embodying the temperament known as Sanguine - one of the four humours believed to influence human behavior during that era. With meticulous attention to detail, Goez captures both the allegorical and physical characteristics associated with this particular temperament. Through his masterful use of engraving techniques, Goez brings forth an aura of vitality and energy that emanates from the subject's posture and expression. The elemental fluids are beautifully represented through delicate shading and intricate linework. As we gaze upon this portrait, we are reminded of how art has always been a powerful medium for exploring complex aspects of human nature. It serves as a timeless reminder that our personalities are shaped not only by our biology but also by intangible forces such as humorism. This stunning print is housed in the Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France – a testament to its historical significance. Its presence invites us to delve into centuries-old beliefs about temperaments while appreciating Goez's artistic prowess.
