EDITORS COMMENTS
In this 19th-century print titled "One Glass Too Many" artist Mariola skillfully captures a scene of both humor and caution. Set in the tranquil ambiance of a monastery, the image depicts a mischievous monk who has clearly indulged in one glass too many. With his disheveled appearance and unsteady stance, it is evident that he has succumbed to the allure of wine's intoxicating effects. The central focus of the composition lies on an oversized barrel, overflowing with bottles of wine. The monk stands beside it, clutching onto a wicker basket filled with even more bottles - evidence of his excessive consumption. His face bears an expression somewhere between blissful contentment and utter inebriation. This artwork serves as a reminder of the dangers that lie within our desires for indulgence. It warns against losing oneself to temptation and becoming enslaved by vices such as alcohol. Through her masterful brushstrokes, Mariola manages to convey this message while also infusing the scene with light-heartedness. Displayed by Josef Mensing Gallery in Hamm-Rhynern, Germany, this timeless piece continues to captivate viewers today despite its age. Its out-of-copyright status allows art enthusiasts from around the world to appreciate its beauty freely.
