EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Outer Ornamental Considered Important Inner Well" is part of a thought-provoking series called "Animae Incuria ob Nimiam Corporis Curam" which explores the allegories surrounding human care for the body and the neglect of the soul. The image depicts Homo Carnalis, personifying the happy man, adorning a donkey with an exquisite headdress. Symbolically, this donkey represents his own body, Caro. In stark contrast to this scene stands a poorly dressed woman on a street corner, representing Anima - the neglected soul. This print serves as a powerful reminder of how mankind often prioritizes outer appearances over inner well-being. Printed in Antwerp by Philips Galle or his workshop between 1610 and 1676, this artwork forms one of four prints that delve into themes such as poverty, vanity, lust, luxury, and meditation on mortality. Each print features captions in Latin, French, and Dutch languages. Measuring approximately 224mm in height and 154mm in width on paper through engraving techniques; it showcases intricate details that invite viewers to reflect upon their own attitudes towards physical appearance versus spiritual growth. The Liszt Collection proudly presents this remarkable piece from its archives but kindly requests not to mention any commercial use related to it.
