EDITORS COMMENTS
In this intriguing engraving titled "Venerable Idleness Queen Cockaigne Fat Woman Seated" we are transported back to the year 1565 in Venice, Italy. The artist, Nicolò Nelli, captures a fascinating scene that showcases the concept of indulgence and leisure. At the center of the image sits a remarkably plump woman on a movable toilet chair. She is adorned with regal attire, symbolizing her status as the queen of idleness. Surrounding her are seven women who attend to her every need - they wait upon her hand and foot, ensuring she lacks nothing in terms of comfort or sustenance. This artwork offers us a glimpse into an era where excess and opulence were celebrated. It portrays an idealized notion of carefree existence, where one could indulge in all pleasures without consequence. The sheer size and weight of the central figure serve as visual metaphors for abundance and decadence. Nelli's meticulous attention to detail brings this print to life; from the intricate patterns on clothing to subtle expressions on each character's face, every element contributes to our understanding of this lavish world. As we observe this piece from Liszt Collection, it invites us to reflect upon our own relationship with idleness and extravagance. While it may be tempting to embrace such a lifestyle temporarily, perhaps there is wisdom in finding balance between work and leisure – appreciating moments of rest while also pursuing meaningful endeavors.
