The Alarm or La Gouvernante Fidele, 1723
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating painting by Jean Francois de Troy that transports viewers to the romantic gardens of 18th-century France. This exquisite print captures a secret rendezvous between two lovers, set against the backdrop of a serene fountain and lush greenery. In this scene, a maid interrupts their intimate conversation with an unexpected gesture, her dramatic interruption causing both surprise and concern. The artist skillfully portrays the tension between love and duty as the faithful governess fulfills her role in protecting her charges' virtue. De Troy's mastery of the tableaux de mode genre is evident in this early example of his work. Through delicate brushstrokes and intricate details, he brings to life a moment frozen in time – an assignation interrupted by unforeseen circumstances. The painting exudes all the elements associated with Rococo art: courtship, romance, and elegance. The couple's embrace hints at their deep affection for one another while also conveying their vulnerability to discovery. As we gaze upon this enchanting image captured on canvas centuries ago, we are transported into a world where love blossoms amidst hidden corners and secret trysts. It serves as a reminder that even within strict societal constraints, passion can still find its way into our hearts – albeit momentarily interrupted by vigilant eyes.
