EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "Nenuphar, from Les Fleurs Animees" by Charles-Michel Geoffroy, a renowned French artist of the 19th century. Created in 1847, this hand-colored wood engraving with lithography beautifully captures the essence of nature and satire. The image depicts a whimsical scene where a nun is transformed into a water lily or nenuphar. The intricate details and vibrant colors bring to life this satirical caricature that blends religion and botanical elements seamlessly. Geoffroy's work often featured social commentary through his clever use of parody and satire. In this piece, he playfully challenges traditional religious norms by presenting a nun as an enchanting flower. Through his artistry, he invites viewers to question societal conventions while appreciating the beauty found in unexpected places. The combination of lithography and hand coloring adds depth and richness to the artwork, enhancing its visual impact. This print exemplifies Geoffroy's mastery in capturing both delicate natural forms and human expressions. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this remarkable piece continues to captivate audiences with its unique blend of humor, creativity, and artistic skill. It serves as a testament to Charles-Michel Geoffroy's enduring legacy as one of France's most celebrated artists of the 19th century.
