EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of Madness" transports us to a world where the bear skin coat symbolizes an insatiable desire for madness, fueled by anger. The image highlights the power of this madness through the energetic and frenzied dance movements of those who wear it, emphasizing their joyous abandon. A striking element in the composition is the vane perched atop the figure's head, serving as a visual representation of the instability inherent in fantasies. It stands in stark contrast to both natural and artificial light sources present in the scene - a single candle casting its gentle glow against vibrant rays from the sun. The groundhog serves as a significant attribute for this allegorical depiction, suggesting an association with unpredictability or perhaps even foretelling impending doom. Its inclusion adds depth and complexity to our interpretation of this artwork. Engraved within "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung" published in Vienna 1801, this piece is just one among 225 illustrations contained within that book. This particular print now resides within a private collection. Through Stefano Bianchetti's skillful capture of this Austrian School masterpiece from the 19th century, we are invited into a realm where madness intertwines with desire and anger dances alongside gaiety.
