Baltasar Carried Edition Frontis Piece Gracian Moralist Titled
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the renowned Spanish Golden Age writer and moralist, Baltasar Gracian, featured in the frontispiece of the third part of his seminal work "El Criticón" or "The Critick," published in Barcelona in 1664. The title of this section is "At Old Age's Winter," reflecting the themes of aging and wisdom that pervade Gracian's writing. Gracian, born in 1601, is celebrated for his profound insights into human nature and his mastery of the Spanish language. His works, which include "Agudeza y Arte de Inganni" (Cunning and the Art of Deception) and "Oráculo Manesco" (The Manesque Oracle), are renowned for their wit, depth, and moral complexity. The frontispiece image captures Gracian in thoughtful contemplation, encircled by allegorical figures representing the virtues of Temperance, Justice, and Prudence. The intricate design and rich colors of the print are a testament to the artistic and intellectual vibrancy of the Spanish Baroque period. This edition of "El Criticón" was carried out by the Barcelona publisher Antonio Lacavalleria, who was known for his high-quality productions. The Barcelona University Library is fortunate to house this precious piece of literary and artistic history, which continues to captivate scholars and readers alike with its enduring relevance and insight into the human condition.
