EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of an allegory of theft, depicted by a man walking in the night with a deaf lantern and a purse clutched tightly in his hands. The wings on his feet symbolize his readiness to flee at any moment. This engraving is part of the renowned book "Iconologie oder Ideen aus dem Gebiete der Leidenschaften und Allegorien bildich dargestellt fur Zeichner, Mahler, Dichter, Gelehrte, Erzieher und freunde Hoherer Geschmacksbildung" (Iconology or ideas from the sphere of passions and allegories. . . ), published in Vienna in 1801. The intricate details captured by Austrian School artists during the 19th century make this piece truly remarkable. It is currently held within a private collection but continues to captivate viewers with its powerful imagery. The image evokes a sense of mystery and intrigue as we witness this figure navigating through darkness with ill intentions. The lantern's deafness represents secrecy and stealth while highlighting the clandestine nature of theft. Through this artwork, we are reminded that even under cover of darkness, there are those who seek to exploit others for personal gain. The artist skillfully conveys both physical movement and emotional tension within this single frame. As we observe this scene frozen in time, it serves as a reminder to remain vigilant against those who may attempt to take advantage or deceive us.
