L'Envy
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating drawing by Adolphe Léon Willette, created in 1916. This intriguing artwork, now part of a private collection, depicts an allegorical scene filled with symbolism and emotion. In the foreground, a young woman lies gracefully in a hammock, her nakedness representing vulnerability and purity. She holds a mandolin delicately in her hands, embodying the power of music to evoke deep emotions. The central theme of this piece revolves around envy, one of the seven capital sins. Willette skillfully portrays this destructive emotion through the figure of another woman standing beside the hammock. The envious woman gazes longingly at the musician's talent and beauty while clutching her heart with jealousy. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his pen; from intricate patterns on clothing to subtle shading techniques that bring depth to each element within the composition. Through his mastery of line work and composition, Willette creates a sense of movement and harmony throughout "L'Envy". Leonard de Selva expertly captures this timeless artwork through his photography skills for all art enthusiasts to appreciate today. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness Willette's artistic brilliance firsthand - an exquisite blend of storytelling and visual aesthetics that continues to captivate audiences over a century later.
