EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of love and romance in a bygone era. The image depicts Felix de Vandenesse and Madame de Mortsauf, two characters from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel "Le Lys Dans la Vallee". Published in 1871 as an engraving by Pierre Gustave Eugene Staal, this illustration beautifully brings to life the passionate affair between these star-crossed lovers. In the picture, we see Felix and Madame de Mortsauf strolling together, their connection palpable even through the lens of time. The male figure exudes charm and elegance while his female counterpart radiates grace and poise. As they walk side by side, a parasol shields them from the sun's rays, symbolizing both protection and intimacy. The first edition of Balzac's novel was published in 1836, making this artwork a visual representation of a timeless tale that has captivated readers for generations. It serves as a reminder that love knows no boundaries or limitations - it transcends time itself. This enchanting image invites us to step into their world; to experience their forbidden love story firsthand. It is a testament to the power of art to capture emotions so vividly that they can be felt across centuries.
