Pointless Regrets - A Glimpse into the 18th Century's Forbidden Love
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This colour engraving, titled "Pointless Regrets" takes us back to the late 18th century in France. Created by an anonymous French School artist, this piece is now housed in the Musee de la Ville de Paris, Musee Carnavalet. The scene unfolds within a lavish bedroom adorned with opulent furnishings and intricate details. In this intimate setting, we witness a moment of forbidden love and dissolute behavior. A tearful woman sits on the edge of a sumptuous bed while her lover stands nearby, both consumed by regret. Les regrets inutiles or "pointless regrets" encapsulates their emotions perfectly - it is clear that they are entangled in an adulterous affair filled with debauchery and mistakes. The atmosphere exudes melancholy as the woman weeps for what seems to be an inevitable end to their tryst. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into the libertine lifestyle prevalent during that era - where societal norms were challenged and desires indulged without remorse. The artist masterfully captures not only the physicality but also the emotional turmoil experienced by these lovers. As we gaze upon this print from Bridgeman Images' collection, we are transported back to a time when passion clashed with societal expectations. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, human emotions remain timeless and complex – reminding us of our own pointless regrets throughout
