EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a mesmerizing costume for a demon in various operas, including Armide and Psyche. Engraved by the talented artist Jean Baptiste Martin around 1780, this colored engraving is now part of a private collection known as The Stapleton Collection. The intricate details of this demonic attire are truly awe-inspiring. Adorned with fiery anger and intense rage, the demon's fashion plate exudes an overwhelming sense of fury. A torch held high symbolizes the burning hatred within its heart, while majestic ostrich feathers add an air of grandeur to its menacing presence. A dagger clenched tightly signifies the devilish nature lurking beneath its exterior. This extraordinary ensemble not only represents theatrical costumes but also delves deeper into human emotions and feelings. It serves as a visual representation of Gluck's opera compositions that explore themes such as anger and furor. Moreover, this image resonates with the concept of the seven deadly sins - wrath being prominently depicted here. The demon embodies one aspect of these sins, reminding us of our own capacity for darkness within. As we gaze upon this remarkable engraving from Bridgeman Images' Fine Art Finder collection, we cannot help but be captivated by the intensity emanating from this costume for a demon. It transports us to another realm where emotions run wild and passions ignite like fire itself.
