EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a moment of intense emotion and intrigue. The scene depicts a man, dressed in an elaborate frilled shirt, seated by an open window on a moonlit night. His pensive expression suggests deep contemplation as he holds a quill pen in his hand, seemingly engrossed in the contents of a love letter. The image is inspired by "Lettre LXXXVIII, Cecile Volanges au Vicomte de Valmont" one of the most famous letters from Pierre Chodlerlos de Laclos' renowned novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. Published in 1934 as a pochoir print by artist Georges Barbier, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of sexual intrigue and forbidden desires that permeate the story. The crescent moon shining through the open window adds to the mysterious atmosphere surrounding this clandestine exchange. The composition exudes elegance and sophistication with its attention to detail and delicate lines. Barbier's skillful illustration transports us back to 18th-century France, immersing us in French culture during that time period. This work of art showcases his mastery as an illustrator and highlights his contribution to French arts. As part of The Stapleton Collection held privately, this print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a reminder of the timeless allure found within literature's finest works.
