EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of Scandal" captures a moment of intrigue and controversy. In the image, a figure from the 19th century Austrian School holds a bottle in one hand, symbolizing indulgence and excess, while clutching a portrait of a young woman in the other. The juxtaposition of these objects suggests that scandal is brewing, with secrets and forbidden desires at play. The scene is set near a table adorned with playing cards and games, further emphasizing the theme of deception and hidden agendas. This engraving comes from the book "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. With its intricate details and rich symbolism, the artwork invites viewers to contemplate the nature of scandal itself – how it can captivate our attention while simultaneously exposing society's darker undercurrents. This particular print is part of a private collection containing 225 illustrations curated by Stefano Bianchetti. Through this photographical representation, Austrian artist skillfully brings to life an age-old subject matter that continues to fascinate us today: human fascination with scandalous behavior.
