EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "A representation of October, 1757" captures the essence of the eighteenth century with its intricate details and symbolic elements. Created by artist Bernard de Montfaucon, this print is a plate from his renowned work Supplement au livre de L'antiquite expliquee et representee en figures. In the center of the image stands a naked man, holding a hare in one hand and a basket in the other. His full-length figure exudes strength and confidence as he gazes into the distance. The man's nudity represents vulnerability while also symbolizing purity and honesty. Surrounding him are various elements that further enhance the allegorical nature of this artwork. A bird perched on top of an urn signifies freedom and transcendence, while fruits such as hazelnuts allude to abundance and fertility associated with autumn. The meticulous lettering at the bottom adds historical context to this piece, reminding viewers that it was created during October 1757. This engraving serves as both an artistic expression capturing life in the eighteenth century and an allegory for human existence itself. Preserved within a private collection today, this print offers us a glimpse into Montfaucon's mastery as an artist and his ability to convey complex symbolism through art media. It continues to captivate audiences with its monochrome beauty centuries after its creation.
