EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Unfaithful wife (colour litho)" takes us back to the 16th century, showcasing a scene of betrayal and forbidden love. The artwork, created by the German School, depicts a moment when an unfaithful wife is visited by her lover as her husband rides away on horseback. This illustration was featured in Eduard Fuchs' book "Illustrierte Sittengeschichte von Mittelalter bis zur Gegenwart" published in Munich around 1910. The image captures the tension and secrecy surrounding adultery during this historical period. The woman's elegant renaissance dress and the man's elaborate costume add to the richness of detail in this lithograph. Through their body language and expressions, we can sense their deep connection despite societal constraints. The composition highlights not only human emotions but also elements of nature with horses playing a significant role. As the husband rides off into the distance, symbolizing his obliviousness to his wife's infidelity, it becomes clear that these animals are more than mere farm animals; they represent freedom and passion. This thought-provoking artwork raises questions about gender dynamics and societal expectations prevalent during that time. It sheds light on themes such as misogyny, marriage sacrements, and fidelity while reminding us that love knows no boundaries or time periods. Overall, this print from Bridgeman Images offers viewers a glimpse into history through its vivid colors and intricate details—a true testament to art's ability to transcend time.
