EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving titled "Dress, Manners, and Art in the Last Century" by Henry Singleton takes us back to a time of extravagance and dissipation. The image showcases the opulent lifestyle of the upper class during the 18th century, highlighting their lavish dress, grand interiors, and indulgent manners. In this scene from history, we witness a society immersed in luxury but plagued by ill health. The artist masterfully captures both the beauty and decadence that characterized this era. From elaborate gowns adorned with intricate details to ornate furnishings that fill every corner of the room, no expense is spared. Yet beneath all this splendor lies a sense of unease. Illness lurks within these extravagant walls as an underlying theme throughout the artwork. It serves as a reminder that even amidst wealth and privilege, one cannot escape the consequences of excess. "Dress, Manners, and Art in the Last Century" offers us a glimpse into a world long gone but not forgotten. It invites us to reflect on our own values today – how we define artistry, conduct ourselves socially, and find balance between indulgence and moderation. As we admire this print from centuries past captured by Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection let it serve as both inspiration for creativity and cautionary tale about unchecked extravagance
