FRANCE - DEVIL OF MONEY. The Great Devil of Money
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print from the Granger Collection takes us back to early 19th century France, during the Napoleonic era. A satirical and thought-provoking piece, it showcases a stencil-colored wood engraving produced by Jean-Charles Pellerin in Epinal, France. The image depicts a flying devil-like figure with wings made entirely of coins. With an evil grin on its face, this symbolic representation of money personifies the allure and power that wealth holds over society. It serves as a commentary on the financial landscape of the time, highlighting both its potential for economic growth and its capacity for corruption. The intricate details of this engraving draw our attention to each coin meticulously placed within the devil's wings. These coins represent not only currency but also societal values tied to wealth accumulation and materialism. As we gaze upon this artwork, we are reminded of how money can be both a force for good and evil in shaping economies and societies alike. Its influence is undeniable, capable of propelling nations forward or leading them astray. This print offers us an opportunity to reflect on our own relationship with money today – how we navigate its temptations while striving for balance between financial success and ethical responsibility.
