EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Pharmacist Homais" a significant illustration for Gustave Flaubert's renowned novel, Madame Bovary. Created by the talented artist Umberto Brunelleschi in 1953 and published by Gibert Jeune, this color engraving beautifully captures the essence of Homais' character. In this image, we see Homais standing proudly in his shop, which is meticulously arranged with various pharmaceutical products. The setting exudes an air of middle-class sophistication and professionalism. With his portrait-like pose, Homais emanates confidence and authority as he gazes directly at the viewer. Flaubert's portrayal of Homais as a pharmacist reflects the societal importance placed on medical professionals during that time period. This illustration serves as a visual representation of one of literature's most memorable characters—a man driven by ambition and self-importance. The exquisite detailing in this engraving highlights Brunelleschi's mastery of his craft. Each line and stroke brings depth to the image, enhancing its overall impact. This particular print is part of a private collection, adding to its rarity and desirability among art enthusiasts. Overall, this print not only pays homage to Flaubert's literary masterpiece but also stands alone as an exceptional work of art. It offers viewers a glimpse into both the world created by Flaubert's words and Brunelleschi's artistic interpretation—an evocative fusion that captivates audiences even today.
