EDITORS COMMENTS
"Max Klinger's Temptation, plate four from A Life, is a captivating work of art from the 19th century that showcases the artist's mastery of aquatint and etching techniques. This print, laid on ivory china paper and cream laid paper, transports viewers to a mythological world filled with symbolism and fantasy. At the center of the composition, a man and a woman are depicted in the throes of an embrace, their bodies intertwined in a passionate moment. Surrounding them, a dragon, a mythical beast from German folklore, slithers menacingly, its eyes fixed on the couple. A snail crawls up the woman's arm, adding an additional layer of symbolism to the image. The couple's nakedness and the sensuality of the scene are in stark contrast to the cold, barren landscape that surrounds them. The use of roulette in the etching adds texture and depth to the image, enhancing the overall effect. A Life is a series of prints that explores the themes of temptation, desire, and the human condition. This plate, in particular, represents the temptation that the man and woman face in the form of the dragon, a symbol of danger and desire. The couple's embrace can be seen as a defiant act against the danger that surrounds them. Klinger's use of symbolism and mythology in Temptation is a testament to the power of art to transport us to other worlds and explore complex emotions. This print is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the realm of symbolist and mythological art from the 19th century." The Art Institute of Chicago is proud to house this important work in its collection, making it accessible to the public for appreciation and study.
