EDITORS COMMENTS
is a mesmerizing pochoir print by Umberto Brunelleschi that captures the essence of love and fantasy. Set against a nocturnal backdrop in a garden, this artwork transports us to an enchanting world where secret trysts and illicit affairs unfold. In this fantastical scene from the 1920s, we witness two lovers engaged in a passionate embrace on a ladder. The female figure, adorned in an elegant crinoline gown, leans over the balcony while her male counterpart reaches up to meet her lips. Their kiss symbolizes both desire and forbidden love. The art deco style prevalent in the 20s is evident through intricate details and bold colors used by Brunelleschi. The moonlit garden adds an ethereal touch to the composition, enhancing its dreamlike quality. This illustration was originally featured in "La Guirlande" a monthly album of art and literature published in Paris during that era. It exemplifies the romanticism and allure associated with early 20th-century magazine illustrations. "The Kiss on the Ladder" invites viewers into a captivating narrative filled with mystery and longing. It serves as a testament to timeless themes of passion and human connection that transcend time periods. As part of Fine Art Finder's collection, this print offers art enthusiasts an opportunity to own a piece of history that encapsulates the spirit of romance from one of Europe's most vibrant artistic eras -the roaring twenties
