Rest content where thou art
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating engraving by John Leighton, showcasing his artistic prowess and deep understanding of wisdom and history. This historical print, now part of a private collection, transports us to an era when adages and proverbs held great significance in shaping moral values. Leighton's illustration was originally created for the book "Moral Emblems with Aphorisms, Adages, and Proverbs of All Ages and Nations" compiled by Jacob Cats and Robert Farlie. The engravings were freely rendered from designs found in Leighton's own works, making this piece a true reflection of his artistic vision. The image invites contemplation as we witness a figure at rest amidst serene surroundings. It speaks to the timeless human desire for tranquility and contentment. Through its visual storytelling, this engraving encourages us to find solace in our present circumstances rather than constantly seeking external validation or material possessions. Intriguingly, it also reminds us that wisdom can be gleaned from various cultures throughout history. By incorporating aphorisms and proverbs from different ages and nations into his work, Leighton emphasizes the universality of moral teachings. As we gaze upon this remarkable artwork today, we are reminded not only of its aesthetic beauty but also its profound message: finding inner peace lies within ourselves. Let "Rest content where thou art" serve as an enduring reminder to embrace stillness amidst life's chaos while drawing inspiration from the collective wisdom passed down through generations.
