EDITORS COMMENTS
This color lithograph, titled "On board the ship" takes us on a journey back to the 18th century. The print, created by Maurice Leloir (1853-1940), showcases a scene from the famous French novel "Histoire de Manon Lescaut" by L'Abbé Prévost. The image depicts a couple on deck, surrounded by the vastness of the sea. Dressed in elegant period costumes, they exude an air of romance and adventure. We can almost feel the wind in their hair and hear the rhythmic sound of waves crashing against the ship's hull. The story behind this artwork revolves around forbidden love and deportation. It follows Chevalier des Grieux and his beloved Manon Lescaut as they embark on a tumultuous voyage across France and beyond. Their passionate affair unfolds amidst societal constraints and challenges faced during that era. Leloir's skillful use of colors brings life to this historical moment, capturing both the beauty of their attire and hinting at underlying emotions within their expressions. This print serves as a visual representation of European literature at its finest, showcasing French culture through art. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported into another time – one filled with intrigue, longing, and boundless possibilities for these star-crossed lovers aboard their fateful ship.
