EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Hasten at leisure" by John Leighton takes us on a journey through time, offering a glimpse into the wisdom and moral teachings of ages past. The print, part of a private collection, is an illustration for the book "Moral Emblems with Aphorisms, Adages, and Proverbs of All Ages and Nations" by Jacob Cats and Robert Farlie. Leighton's intricate design beautifully captures the essence of this adage: "Hasten at leisure". The image invites contemplation as we see figures engaged in various activities against a backdrop that exudes historical charm. It reminds us to approach life with patience and thoughtfulness rather than rushing headlong into decisions or actions. The inclusion of aphorisms, proverbs, and adages from different cultures adds depth to this artwork. It serves as a reminder that wisdom transcends time and place; it is universal. As we gaze upon this print, we are encouraged to reflect on our own lives and consider how these timeless teachings can guide us towards living more virtuous lives. Leighton's masterful rendering brings history alive before our eyes. Through his skillful interpretation of ancient designs found in works preceding him, he breathes new life into these age-old lessons. This engraving not only showcases Leighton's talent but also pays homage to the rich tapestry of human experience throughout history. As we admire this piece from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, let us be inspired
