EDITORS COMMENTS
This 15th-century miniature print captures a scandalous bath scene, revealing the voyeuristic tendencies of Count Lisiard de Forez. Through a small hole in the wall, he spies on a young woman named Euriant as she attends to her toilet. The artist skillfully portrays the vulnerability and innocence of Euriant, who remains unaware of Lisiard's prying eyes. The focus of this intriguing image lies in Lisiard's discovery: a violet-shaped spot on Euriant's chest. In an instant, his declaration of infidelity adds an unexpected twist to this clandestine encounter. The tension between desire and betrayal is palpable as we witness these characters caught in their intimate moment. Taken from "Le roman de la Violette ou Gerard de Nevers" by Gerbert or Gibert de Montreuil, dating back to 1227-1229, this miniature offers us a glimpse into the artistic sensibilities and societal norms of that era. It serves as a reminder that human curiosity and intrigue have transcended time. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this print allows us to appreciate both the historical significance and aesthetic beauty captured by an unknown artist from centuries ago. As we gaze upon it today through Photo Josse's lens, let us reflect on our own fascination with secrets unveiled and forbidden desires explored throughout art history.
