EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an illustration from the 18th century, showcasing a saying that still holds relevance today: "He who does not consume, does not renew himself". The artwork is part of a collection of proverbs by an unknown artist, offering insights into the values and beliefs of that era. The image depicts a well-dressed merchant in his boutique, surrounded by coats and garments. It symbolizes the emergence of consumer society and highlights the significance placed on appearance and fashion during this period. The engraving beautifully portrays the connection between commerce, mode, and human expression. Through its intricate details and exquisite craftsmanship, this artwork invites us to reflect upon our own consumption habits in modern times. In a world driven by materialism and constant renewal, it reminds us to find balance between indulgence and self-renewal. The phrase itself carries profound meaning - consuming not only refers to material goods but also encompasses intellectual nourishment or personal growth. It urges us to actively seek new experiences, knowledge, or even moments of introspection for personal development. As we admire this remarkable piece from eGiancarlo Costa's private collection, let it serve as a reminder that true renewal lies not just in acquiring possessions but also in nurturing our minds and souls with enriching experiences.
