EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of fear in the guise of an old man with feet wings conducive to escape" takes us on a journey through the depths of human emotions. Created by the Austrian School in the 19th century, this engraving is part of a book called "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. The image portrays fear personified as an old man with peculiar attributes - hare and deer. The old man's feet are adorned with wings that symbolize his ability to escape swiftly when confronted by danger. This allegorical representation delves into the complexities of fear - its power to paralyze us or propel us towards self-preservation. The intricate details captured in this engraving invite contemplation about our own fears and how we navigate them. It serves as a reminder that fear can manifest itself differently for each individual but ultimately connects us all through shared human experiences. Displayed within a private collection today, this artwork continues to evoke curiosity and introspection. Its timeless nature transcends centuries and invites viewers to explore their own relationship with fear while appreciating the artistic mastery behind its creation.
