EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative image captures a pivotal moment in the scandalous world of Choderlos de Laclos's "Dangerous Liaisons" (Les Liaisons Dangereuses), published in 1782. In the photograph, the Vicomte de Valmont, portrayed by the enigmatic Jean-Jacques Rousset, is depicted deep in thought as he composes a letter to the virtuous Marquise de Tourvel, played by the elegant and refined Nathalie Delon. The setting for this clandestine correspondence is the Opera, where Valmont's current mistress, the beautiful and cunning Opera, serves as his unwitting writing desk. The dangerous game of seduction and manipulation that Valmont and his accomplice, the Marquise de Merteuil, play out in Laclos's novel is a chilling exploration of human nature and the lengths people will go to in order to satisfy their desires. Valmont's plan to seduce the virtuous Marquise de Tourvel is a particularly dangerous liaison, as her unyielding morality and strong will make her an intriguing and formidable challenge. The image of Valmont writing at the Opera, surrounded by the opulence and grandeur of the opera house, adds an air of danger and intrigue to the scene. The books and quills scattered around him suggest the intellectual and calculated nature of his seduction tactics, while the expression on his face reveals the intensity of his focus and determination. The contrast between the beauty and elegance of the Opera and the dark and manipulative intentions of its inhabitants is a striking reminder of the complex and often dangerous nature of human relationships. This photograph, with its historical significance and intriguing subject matter, is a captivating glimpse into the world of "Dangerous Liaisons" and the dangerous games that its characters play. The image, from Mary Evans Picture Library, is a must-have for any historian, literature enthusiast, or collector of fine art.
