EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman from the Gluttonous Couple" takes us back to the 16th century, showcasing a copper engraving by Joos or Jodocus van Winghe. The image is part of an illustrious collection called "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" (Illustrated History of Manners from the Middle Ages to the Present), curated by Eduard Fuchs in 1910. The scene depicts a woman indulging in gluttony, one of the seven deadly sins. Seated at a lavishly set table, she exudes an air of satisfaction as she feasts on her meal. Her dress hints at her wealth and status during this Renaissance period. Amidst her indulgence, we notice a playful cat curiously eyeing her food while several dogs surround her. A loyal collie dog stands guard nearby, adding depth to the composition and symbolizing loyalty amidst excess. This engraving not only captures a moment in history but also explores themes such as greed, obesity, and excessive consumption that transcend time. It serves as a reminder that even centuries ago, humans grappled with their vices and desires. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this artwork for our enjoyment today. As we gaze upon it, we are transported back to an era where opulence mingled with moral contemplation—a testament to both human nature's timeless qualities and our fascination with exploring them through art.
