EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Ethics of Smell" transports us to a serene garden scene from the 17th century. The illustration, taken from Book 1 Part 8 Chapter 14 of "The Principles of Philosophy" by Anthony Le Grand, showcases the intricate engravings by Johannes Kip. In this enchanting image, we see a lady elegantly seated on a bench in the midst of a lush garden. She holds a walking stick or cane, perhaps indicating her refined status and grace. A small dog accompanies her faithfully at her side, adding an element of companionship and loyalty. Surrounded by blooming flowers and towering trees, our attention is drawn to the incense burner she delicately holds in one hand. This suggests that she is indulging in the pleasure of scent as it wafts through the air around her. A bunch of flowers rests beside her on the bench - their vibrant colors contrasting beautifully with her elegant attire. It's as if nature itself has come alive to pay homage to this graceful lady. This print captures not only an exquisite moment frozen in time but also invites us to reflect on how our senses can be heightened when immersed in nature's beauty. The artist skillfully conveys both tranquility and sophistication within this single frame - reminding us that even centuries later, art continues to inspire contemplation and appreciation for life's simple pleasures.
