EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of the invitation as a young man with a laughing face inviting to a table" transports us back in time to an era of opulent feasts and extravagant parties. The image depicts a jovial young man, his face adorned with laughter, extending an invitation to join him at a lavishly set table covered with sumptuous dishes. In his hand, he holds a torch, symbolizing Comus, the god of feasts and night parties. This attribute further emphasizes the festive nature of the scene and hints at the indulgence that awaits those who accept this invitation. The engraving is part of "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung" a book published in Vienna in 1801. This remarkable publication contains 225 illustrations that explore various allegorical representations of passions and emotions. Housed within a private collection today, this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti captures both the allure and decadence associated with grand celebrations. It serves as an intriguing glimpse into historical social customs while also reminding us of our own innate desire for connection and enjoyment through shared experiences around tables filled with delectable delights.
