EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite cover of Honore de Balzac's renowned novel, "La Mye du Roy" beautifully illustrated by Leon Lebegue in the 1902 edition. The artwork depicts a mesmerizing scene that transports us to the heart of French society during that era. Intriguingly, a young girl is portrayed as a courtesan, symbolizing both sensuality and vulnerability. Lebegue's intricate engraving skillfully captures her delicate beauty and evokes an air of mystery surrounding her character. The naked woman depicted on the cover adds an element of eroticism, hinting at the complex themes explored within Balzac's literary masterpiece. The presence of monarchy is also evident through references to kingship and infidelity, reflecting societal norms prevalent during Balzac's time. This amalgamation of elements highlights not only the author's profound understanding of human nature but also his ability to navigate controversial topics with finesse. As we delve into this timeless work by one of France's most esteemed writers, we are reminded once again why Honore de Balzac remains an influential figure in European literature. Through his words and Lebegue's striking illustration, we are transported back in time to explore themes such as love, betrayal, and power dynamics that continue to resonate with readers today. Giancarlo Costa has masterfully captured this remarkable piece from his private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance.
