EDITORS COMMENTS
In this etching titled "Reading at night". Norbert Goeneutte beautifully captures the intimate and tranquil atmosphere of a late-night reading session. Created between 1864 and 1894, this print showcases a moment frozen in time, inviting us to step into the cozy interior of a French household. The scene is bathed in warm lamplight, casting soft shadows that dance across the room. A young woman sits comfortably with a book in her hands, fully engrossed in its pages. The flickering light from the lamp illuminates her face as she leans closer to catch every word written on the page. Surrounded by an aura of peacefulness and relaxation, this image evokes a sense of calmness that can only be found during quiet nights spent indulging in literature. The inkpot and quill resting nearby hint at her own creative endeavors or perhaps even journaling her thoughts inspired by what she reads. Goeneutte's attention to detail brings forth an atmospheric ambiance that envelops both viewer and subject alike. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported back to simpler times when books were treasured companions offering solace and escape from daily life. This exquisite artwork reminds us of the timeless joy found within the act of reading – where imagination takes flight under lamplit skies while tranquility reigns supreme.
