Man die het moderne minacht 1771 - 1823

"Man die het moderne minacht" (The Despiser of the Modern) is an etching by Karl Heinrich Grünler, created between 1771 and 1823. This small-scale print depicts a man in traditional attire standing in a landscape, gesturing dismissively towards the viewer. The title and the man's posture suggest a critique of modern trends, possibly highlighting a preference for older, more traditional values. Grünler's work often satirized contemporary society, and this etching likely reflects a broader theme of cultural change and resistance to modernity.
