This 17th century engraved illustration from a collection of proverbs by French engraver Jacques Lagniet transports us back in time to Paris between 1657-1663. Known for his socially critical engravings and mockery pictures, Lagniet's work often featured grotesque and fantastic elements that added depth to his art. In this particular piece, we see a glimpse into the world of well-known proverbs from the era, each illustrated with intricate detail and thought-provoking imagery. Lagniet's skill as an engraver is evident in the precision of his lines and the richness of his compositions. As we study this print, we are reminded of the power of visual storytelling and how art can transcend time to communicate universal truths. The collection of proverbs depicted here offers a window into the wisdom and wit of past generations, inviting us to reflect on their relevance in our own lives today. Through Lagniet's masterful hand, these centuries-old sayings come alive once more, sparking our imagination and challenging us to consider their meanings in new ways.
