EDITORS COMMENTS
This chromolitho print titled "Greed" by French School, dating back to the 19th century, is a visual feast for the eyes. The image showcases a bustling sweetshop filled with cakes, sweets, and pastries that would tempt even the most disciplined among us. A group of elegant women can be seen indulging in their desires, embodying the sin of greed. The scene captures the essence of gourmandising and spendthrifts as these ladies spare no expense in satisfying their insatiable sweet tooth. Champagne flows freely as they revel in overeating and excessive consumption. The windows of the shop are adorned with delectable treats, enticing passersby to join them in this sinful feast. However, amidst all this extravagance lies a subtle reminder of waste and excess. Piles of rubbish overflow from dust bins while a special refuse collector stands nearby ready to clean up after these gluttonous festivities. This artwork serves as a cautionary tale about the consequences of unchecked desire and unbridled consumption. It reminds us that there is a fine line between enjoying life's pleasures and succumbing to our mortal weaknesses. Bridgeman Images has beautifully preserved this piece from its private collection, allowing us to reflect on our own relationship with materialism and self-indulgence through history's lens.
