EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting 18th-century print, titled "Candide and Cunegonde," is an exquisite depiction of two iconic characters from Voltaire's classic novel, "Candide," first published in 1759. In this scene, Candide, with a tender expression in his eyes, bends down to pick up Cunegonde's fallen garter, while she playfully requests him to put it back on. The moment is filled with a sense of romance and affection, as well as a touch of mischief. The novel, a satirical work of literature, follows the adventures of Candide, an optimistic young man who is expelled from his paradise-like home and embarks on a journey filled with hardships and discoveries. Along the way, he encounters various colorful characters, including the beautiful Cunegonde, who becomes the object of his affections. This print, which dates back to the late 18th century, is a testament to the enduring popularity of Voltaire's work and the captivating story of Candide and Cunegonde. The intricate details of the characters' clothing and the delicate shading of the print highlight the artistic skill of the time. The print also serves as a reminder of the rich literary history that continues to inspire and intrigue readers and scholars alike. The garter, a seemingly insignificant object, becomes a symbol of the deeper connection between Candide and Cunegonde, as well as a reminder of the playful and whimsical nature of their relationship. This print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Voltaire's classic novel and the historical context in which it was created.
