EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Allegory of Discord" transports us to a world of symbolism and intrigue. The central figure, with her hair formed of vipers and forehead adorned with a bloody bandage, exudes an aura of chaos and conflict. She holds a bellows in one hand, symbolizing the fanning flames of discord, while in the other she cradles a vase filled with fire, representing the destructive power that lies within her grasp. The engraving is part of the book "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung" (Iconology or Ideas from the Sphere of Passions and Allegories Illustrated for Draftsmen, Painters, Poets, Scholars, Educators and Friends of Higher Taste), published in Vienna in 1801. This remarkable collection comprises 225 illustrations that delve into various aspects of human emotions and allegorical representations. Housed within a private collection today but originally created by an Austrian School artist during the 19th century; this artwork continues to captivate viewers with its intricate details and profound symbolism. It serves as a reminder that discord can manifest itself in many forms - be it through internal struggles or external conflicts - ultimately reminding us to seek harmony amidst chaos.
