EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of pride through a beautiful allegory. In the image, a young girl stands with her eyes covered by a blindfold, symbolizing her ignorance and arrogance. She holds onto a ball, which serves as an emblem of her little solidite or self-importance. The presence of a peacock in the picture represents the superb spirit associated with pride. The girl's rich clothing conceals her poor clothes beneath, highlighting the stark contrast between her outward appearance and inner reality. This clever juxtaposition suggests that she is trying to project an image of wealth and grandeur while hiding her true nature. 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" (Iconology or Ideas from the Sphere of Passions and Allegories. . . ), published in Vienna in 1801. This book contains 225 illustrations exploring various emotions and allegorical representations. Currently held in a private collection, this artwork by Stefano Bianchetti showcases the talent and creativity of Austrian School artists from the 19th century. Its thought-provoking imagery invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship with pride and its potential consequences.
