EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that transports us back to the enchanting world of 18th-century Europe. Created by Pierre Francois Basan, this artwork beautifully captures the essence of love and romance during this era. Intriguingly set indoors, we find ourselves in an elegant interior adorned with exquisite furniture. A suitor, dressed in the fashion of the time, passionately kisses his lover on a sumptuous settee. Their tender embrace exudes an air of intimacy and affection that transcends time. Surrounded by books and literature, it becomes apparent that their connection goes beyond physical attraction; they share a deep intellectual bond as well. Perhaps they are engrossed in reading poetry or discussing religious concepts together. The presence of a book suggests their appreciation for knowledge and culture. The artist skillfully portrays not only the beauty spot on the woman's face but also her inner beauty through her worshipful expression towards her admirer. This depiction highlights the importance placed on devotion and adoration within relationships during this period. As we gaze upon "L'amour européen" we are transported to a world where love was celebrated as both an art form and a spiritual experience. Basan's masterful engraving brings to life these timeless themes of passion, intellectuality, and reverence for one another. This remarkable piece can be found at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), serving as a testament to our shared human history and
