EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Seven Ages of Man" an engraving by John Leighton. The artwork, part of a private collection, was created in 1866 as an illustration for the book "The Life of Man Symbolised by the Months of the Year". In this piece, Leighton beautifully captures William Shakespeare's famous quote: "All the world's a stage" "The Seven Ages of Man" depicts the various stages that humans go through from birth to old age. Each age is represented symbolically within different months of the year. This symbolic representation emphasizes how time and life are interconnected. Leighton's artistic style aligns with the symbolist art movement prevalent during his time. Through intricate details and symbolism, he conveys deep meaning beyond what meets the eye. Shakespeare's influence on this artwork is evident as his words echo throughout each stage portrayed in Leighton's engraving. The playfulness and complexity of human existence are depicted through many parts coming together to form a cohesive whole. As we gaze upon this photo print, we are reminded that life is transient and ever-changing like seasons passing by. It serves as a powerful reminder to cherish every moment and embrace all aspects of our journey through life – from innocence to wisdom gained over time. Bridgeman Images has expertly captured this masterpiece, allowing us to appreciate its beauty and contemplate our own place within these seven ages.
