EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the last scene of "Pere de famille" by Denis Diderot, a renowned French playwright and philosopher. The facsimile engraving, created after a drawing by Ziesenis Coutellier in 1933, beautifully captures the essence of this theatrical masterpiece. The image depicts a poignant moment on stage, where the emotions of the characters are palpable. The intricate details and expert craftsmanship of the engraving bring to life the actors' expressions and gestures. It is evident that every line and curve has been carefully etched to convey their inner turmoil. The play itself explores themes of family dynamics and societal expectations during the 18th century in France. Diderot's genius lies in his ability to weave together complex narratives with thought-provoking dialogue, making him one of history's most influential writers. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography preserves this remarkable piece for future generations to appreciate. Through his lens, we can admire not only the artistry behind this facsimile engraving but also gain insight into the world of theater during Diderot's time. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back in time to witness an extraordinary performance unfold before our eyes. It serves as a reminder that art has no boundaries - it transcends centuries and cultures while leaving an indelible mark on those who experience its beauty.
