They understood his lack of money
EDITORS COMMENTS
captures the essence of this print from Les Illusions perdues by Honore de Balzac. The engraving, created by Celestin Francois Nanteuil, beautifully depicts a group of individuals who are united in their understanding of the protagonist's financial struggles. In this scene, we witness a circle of ambitious and impoverished characters seated and standing together in Paris. Their expressions reflect empathy and compassion towards the central figure, Lucien de Rubempre, an aspiring poet hoping to make his mark in the literary world. Despite their own challenges, they offer support to Lucien as he navigates through the harsh realities of pursuing his dreams with limited resources. The image not only portrays the hardships faced by artists during that era but also highlights themes such as friendship, camaraderie, and resilience. It serves as a visual representation of Balzac's renowned work within La Comedie Humaine - a collection of novels exploring various aspects of French society. This thought-provoking illustration reminds us that true companionship transcends material wealth. It speaks volumes about the power of human connection amidst adversity and resonates with anyone who has ever struggled to pursue their passions against all odds.
