EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an enchanting illustration from "Astree" by Honore d'Urfe, a renowned French novel published in the 17th century. The image depicts Astree and Celadon, two central characters of this pastoral romance, beautifully brought to life by artist Daniel Rabel. In this scene, we witness the profound love between Astree and Celadon as they stand amidst a picturesque landscape. Their affectionate gazes reveal their deep connection, while a loyal dog faithfully stands beside them. A mischievous cat playfully lurks nearby, adding an element of charm to the composition. However, despite their undeniable bond, fate has intervened cruelly in their story. An angelic figure hovers above them with sorrowful eyes as if witnessing their tragic separation. This poignant moment captures the essence of longing and heartache that permeates throughout "Astree". The intricate details of Rabel's engraving bring forth a sense of timelessness and evoke emotions within viewers even centuries after its creation. As one delves into this mesmerizing artwork, it becomes evident why "Astree" is regarded as the first French novel – it encapsulates themes of love, loss, and destiny that resonate across generations. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; this remarkable print serves as both a visual delight for art enthusiasts and a testament to the enduring power of storytelling through artistry.
