EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Satirical engraving of the Eternal Masquerade, 18th century" takes us back to a time of revelry and hidden identities. Created by Nicolas Guerard in the 18th century and reproduced as a lithograph in 1906, this artwork offers a satirical commentary on the perpetual carnival that was life during that era. In this image, an allegorical figure of Time stands before us, holding an hourglass. With mischievous intent, he places masks upon the faces of a woman and gentleman who are already adorned with multiple masks. The scene is filled with symbolism; it represents the eternal masquerade that society indulged in during the 18th century. The artist's intention becomes clear as we delve deeper into this intricate composition. Guerard criticizes not only the frivolity and excesses of carnival celebrations but also highlights how individuals wear different masks to hide their true selves from others. It serves as a reminder that appearances can be deceiving. The black and white lithograph adds depth to this thought-provoking piece while capturing every intricate detail meticulously crafted by Guerard's hand. This print invites viewers to reflect on human nature, societal norms, and our constant quest for identity amidst endless festivities. As we gaze at this remarkable artwork from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back in time to witness both celebration and critique intertwined within one frame – truly encapsulating the essence of art itself.
