EDITORS COMMENTS
The Doorkeeper of the Hopital des Joieuses (engraving) captures a whimsical and satirical scene from 18th century France. This delightful print, created by Joseph Franz von Goez and featured in Kulturgeschichtliches Bilderbuch aus drei Jahrhunderten, showcases the unique character of a French doorkeeper. Dressed in traditional French attire, complete with a colorful costume and keys dangling from her waist, the doorkeeper stands confidently with hands on hips. Her expression exudes both authority and mischievousness, hinting at the intriguing tales that lie behind the doors she guards. This caricature-like portrayal offers a glimpse into German artist Goez's interpretation of French culture during this period. The exaggerated features and playful nature of the illustration add to its charm. The Hopital des Joieuses itself was known for its historical significance as well as its reputation for providing amusement to patients. This satirical drawing sheds light on an aspect of European history that is often overlooked - the blending of cultures within different regions. Through this digitally cleaned image, viewers are transported back in time to witness not only an amusing character but also gain insight into societal norms and attitudes prevalent during this era. It serves as a reminder that art has always been a powerful tool for commentary and reflection on our shared human experience.
