EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of phlegmatic complexion" transports viewers back to the 19th century, offering a glimpse into the world of Austrian art. The 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 sphere of passions and allegories depicted visually for drawers, painters, poets, scholars, educators and friends of higher taste), published in Vienna in 1801. The central focus of this image is a turtle—a symbol that represents slowness—highlighting its association with the phlegmatic temperament. The intricate details captured by Stefano Bianchetti's skillful hand draw attention to every line and curve on the turtle's shell. Its deliberate pace seems to echo the essence of phlegmatic individuals who are known for their calmness and introspective nature. With over 225 illustrations contained within its pages, this rare find offers an insight into both artistic expression and psychological understanding during that era. This particular print now resides in a private collection but continues to captivate audiences with its timeless beauty. Whether you appreciate art history or simply admire Bianchetti's craftsmanship, this engraving invites contemplation on human temperament while showcasing the delicate intricacies found within nature itself.
