The Meal, c. 1790 - A Satirical Glimpse into Courtly Matrimony
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This hand-coloured engraving, titled "The Meal" offers a fascinating insight into the world of courtship and marriage during the late 18th century. Created by Carlo Lasinio in Italy, this print is part of a series that humorously satirizes the institution of marriage. In this particular scene, we are transported to an opulent dining room where a sumptuous meal is taking place. The table is adorned with exquisite dishes while footmen attend to their duties diligently. However, what makes this artwork truly intriguing is its underlying wit and mockery. Lasinio's keen eye for satire shines through as he playfully captures the dynamics between couples at dinner parties. With exaggerated gestures and comical expressions, he pokes fun at societal norms surrounding courtship and matrimony. Through his masterful engraving technique, every detail comes to life – from the intricate patterns on fine china to the elaborate attire worn by guests. This visual feast not only entertains but also provides valuable historical context about aristocratic customs and social interactions during this era. "The Meal" invites us to reflect upon our own notions of love and companionship while reminding us that even in centuries past, humor was used as a tool for commentary on human relationships. As we gaze upon this enchanting print from Bridgeman Images' collection, let us appreciate both its artistic beauty and its timeless message
