EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the front cover of "Le Rêve" by Emile Zola, a renowned French author from the 19th century. Created in 1910 by Rene Lelong, this color lithograph captures the essence of Zola's 16th novel in the Rougon-Macquart series. The artwork beautifully combines elements of fairy tales with Naturalist literature, depicting a story centered around Angelique, a pious orphan raised by the Hubert family in Beaumont. The image exudes an air of mysticism and intrigue as smoke swirls around a book, symbolizing hidden secrets and forbidden knowledge. Religious themes are also present through the inclusion of a ghostly figure and a dove above it all. A crown adorns this ethereal presence, suggesting divine intervention or spiritual significance within Angelique's journey. The architectural details depicted in the background evoke images of an enchanting town with its towering cathedral serving as both sanctuary and backdrop to Angelique's dreamscape. Flowers adorn her path while birds soar overhead, adding to the sense of wonderment that permeates throughout "Le Rêve". This stunning visual representation not only pays homage to Zola's literary masterpiece but also invites viewers into his world where reality intertwines with imagination. It serves as an invitation for readers to embark on their own personal voyage through this tale filled with adoration, symbolism, and unforgettable characters.
