From his delicate portrayal of a man proposing to a woman with her face hidden by hair, to the enchanting night scene of a girl in 18th century costume picking roses, his art transports us to another time. As we delve into the pages of Les Artistes Anciens & Modernes or Revue de Peintres, we are greeted by Celestin Nanteuil's exquisite title pages that set the tone for artistic exploration. In Clorinde, he unveils a captivating muse whose gaze holds secrets untold. The third part of The Revolt takes us on an emotional journey through its powerful imagery created by Nanteuil's skilled hand. Dreams of Hunting transport us to lush landscapes where nature intertwines with our desires. Diane stands as a testament to Nanteuil's ability to capture strength and grace in one stroke. In Temptation, he explores the complexities between desire and restraint. His portrait of Victor Hugo immortalizes the literary genius with every brushstroke revealing layers upon layers. The Potion entices us into a world where magic meets reality, while Intoxication delves into intoxicating passions that consume our senses. Celestin Francois' art is an invitation to explore our own dreams and desires through his evocative creations.
