EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Costumes of Paris through the century - Engraving no. 81 entitled 'Admire la Force'" takes us on a journey back in time to the 18th century. Created by an unknown artist, this caricature was made by drugists against Armand Nompar II de Caumont, Duke of La Force, who was accused of monopoly in 1721. The image showcases a bustling scene filled with vibrant characters and intricate details. The bearer of the engraving is dressed in traditional French attire, complete with a colorful tiered costume and a feathered hat adorning their head. They carry various items including a leg-shaped jug, barrel, casket, and pharmacy instrument. In the background, we catch glimpses of a grocery store filled with barrels and bags of goods. The colors used in this piece are rich and vivid, adding depth to each element portrayed. Stefano Bianchetti has masterfully captured the essence of this historical moment through his skilled engraving technique. This artwork offers us not only an insight into the fashion trends and social dynamics prevalent during that era but also serves as evidence of how art can be used as political satire. Displayed proudly in private collections today, this print stands as a testament to both artistic talent and historical significance. It reminds us that even centuries later, art continues to hold immense power in conveying messages and preserving our past for future generations to admire.
