EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "You must learn to suffer for beauty, plate 64 from the series Le Bon Genre" we are transported back to the 18th century and immersed in a world of social satire. The French School's coloured engraving showcases a scene that humorously highlights the lengths women would go to achieve beauty. The image depicts an interior setting where a female figure is seated at her vanity, combing her hair with great determination. However, what catches our attention is not just her focus but also the unconventional means she employs – she stands on stilts or echasses while doing so! This comical detail adds an element of absurdity to the scene and underscores society's expectations regarding physical appearance. A male hairdresser can be seen assisting her, pulling on her long locks as if adhering to the popular saying "no pain no gain". The satirical nature of this artwork becomes evident as it playfully critiques societal norms surrounding beauty rituals. Through its intricate details and clever composition, this engraving invites us to reflect upon the sacrifices individuals make in their pursuit of beauty. It reminds us that throughout history, people have endured discomfort and even pain for aesthetic ideals. As we gaze at this intriguing piece from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded that true beauty often comes at a price – one that requires perseverance and resilience.
