EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Theatre of Moralite, depicting a scene titled "Science and Anerye" during the reign of Francois 1er in 1872. The drawing by Allouard showcases a powerful allegory that mocks the concept of science, with a woman representing knowledge and a donkey symbolizing ignorance.
The intricate details in this renaissance engraving draw viewers into a world where comedy meets intellect, as the comedian on stage entertains while challenging societal norms. The fur-clad woman exudes confidence and wisdom, contrasting sharply with the foolishness embodied by the donkey beside her.
As we delve deeper into this image, we are reminded of the timeless struggle between enlightenment and ignorance, as well as the importance of questioning authority and seeking truth. The girl in the background adds an element of innocence to this complex tableau, hinting at themes of growth and discovery.
Jaime Abecasis has expertly captured this historical moment through his lens, allowing us to appreciate not only the artistry of Allouard's work but also its enduring relevance in today's world. This print serves as a reminder that even in times of mockery and satire, there is always room for introspection and progress.
