EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Lust for Gold, The Golden Thirst" captures a powerful scene that evokes both desire and temptation. In this mesmerizing artwork by Thomas Couture, created between 1840 and 1879, we witness the juxtaposition of youth and age, wealth and allure. At the center of the composition stands a group of young women with bare breasts, their seductive presence symbolizing lust and longing. Behind them sits an old man adorned with money and jewelry, representing power and material wealth. His gaze is fixed on these alluring figures before him as he indulges in his desires. However, what truly adds intrigue to this piece is the grinning presence of Mefisto lurking behind the old man. This mischievous character embodies mischief and temptation, suggesting that there may be consequences to succumbing to one's earthly desires. Couture masterfully employs oil paint on canvas to bring this provocative scene to life. The dimensions of 35 cm in height by 45 cm in width give it an intimate feel while allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail within the composition. The Liszt Collection presents this remarkable print as a testament to human nature's eternal struggle between passion and reason. It serves as a reminder that our thirst for gold can lead us down treacherous paths if we are not mindful of our choices.
