EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of envy in a truly striking manner. The image depicts an allegory of envy embodied by a hideous old woman, consumed by rage and frustration. In her fury, she clenches her fist tightly, biting it with such intensity that even a snake attempts to sink its fangs into her heart. Perched upon a hydra, a monstrous creature resembling herself, the woman exudes an aura of malevolence and bitterness. The intricate engraving beautifully portrays the complexity and depth of this powerful emotion. Taken from "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung" (Iconology or ideas from the realm of passions and allegories depicted visually for artists, painters, poets, scholars, educators and friends of higher taste), published in Vienna in 1801 as part of a book containing 225 illustrations. This thought-provoking artwork is housed within a private collection and showcases the talent of Austrian School during the 19th century. Its evocative imagery serves as both an aesthetic delight and a reminder of the destructive power that envy can wield over individuals.
