EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating and thought-provoking colour lithograph that takes us on a visual journey through the stages of human existence. Created by an anonymous Italian artist in the 19th century, this masterpiece now resides in the Musee Nat. des Arts et Traditions Populaires in Paris, France. At first glance, we are drawn to the allegorical pyramid at the center of the print, with its apex representing age 50 – a symbolic milestone for many. Surrounding it are various scenes depicting birth, childhood, middle age, old age, and ultimately death. The presence of a couple suggests companionship and love throughout life's journey. The artist skillfully incorporates elements such as clocks and celestial bodies like stars and moons to represent time passing by relentlessly. However, lurking amidst these depictions of life's joys and sorrows is a devilish figure tempting individuals towards sin or perhaps symbolizing life's challenges. Intriguingly juxtaposed with this temptation is an image of Jesus Christ above all else – signifying hope for salvation or redemption even in our darkest moments. The inclusion of skeletons reminds us of our mortality while also emphasizing the cyclical nature of existence. A bridge spanning across different ages serves as a metaphorical link between one stage to another. "The Ages of Life" invites viewers to reflect upon their own journeys through time; it prompts contemplation about growth, aging, and ultimately facing our own mortality. This remarkable artwork captures both universal truths about human
