EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Allegory of Fraud" a mesmerizing depiction of deceit and trickery. The central figure, portrayed as a woman, holds a mask in one hand and a fishing rod that has caught a fish in the other. Her double heart symbolizes her ability to manipulate emotions and play with people's affections. The artist's attention to detail is evident in the woman's unique features - her legs end in vulture claws, representing her predatory nature, while her scorpion tail signifies danger and treachery. Adding to the symbolism, she is accompanied by an attribute: a snake with a human face, emphasizing the cunning nature of fraud. Engraved within the pages of "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte" (Iconology or Ideas from the Sphere of Passions and Allegories. . . ), published in Vienna in 1801, this artwork is part of a larger collection containing 225 illustrations. Displayed here as a print from Fine Art Finder's private collection by Stefano Bianchetti captures every intricate detail for art enthusiasts to admire.
