EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving, titled "Les paresseux" captures the essence of idleness and laziness in a rural French landscape during the 19th century. The print, part of a private collection, was originally created as an illustration for La Chasse Illustree in 1875. The scene depicts a group of sloths leisurely lounging amidst green pastures and countryside. Their slow movements perfectly embody the concept of slothfulness, making them symbolic representations of one of the seven deadly sins. The artist skillfully portrays their relaxed demeanor through intricate details that bring these creatures to life on paper. Set against the backdrop of a serene rural region, this engraving transports viewers to a time when hunting was considered both a sport and state-sanctioned activity. It offers us a glimpse into France's rich history and its connection with bloodsports during this era. The use of black and white adds depth to the illustration while emphasizing contrasts between light and shadow. This technique enhances our perception of these wildlife animals within their natural habitat. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are reminded not only of the beauty found in nature but also encouraged to reflect on our own relationship with idleness.
