EDITORS COMMENTS
This wood engraving, titled "Portrait of Pierre de Ronsard old thinking of the amours of Cassandre" takes us back to the 17th century. The unknown artist skillfully captures the essence of Pierre de Ronsard, a prominent French poet and member of La Pléiade literary group. In this portrait, we see Ronsard lost in deep thought as he contemplates his past love affairs with Cassandre. The lines etched into his face reveal a lifetime filled with passion and longing. The intricate details in the engraving bring out the wisdom and experience that comes with age. The setting adds to the overall ambiance of this piece. Positioned next to an elegant fireplace, Ronsard's contemplation is heightened by the warm glow illuminating his face. This juxtaposition between light and shadow creates a sense of mystery surrounding his thoughts. Leonard de Selva's expert photography perfectly captures every nuance and texture present in this historical artwork. Through his lens, we are able to appreciate not only the artistry behind this wood engraving but also its historical significance. Displayed within a private collection, this print allows us to delve into the world of Renaissance literature and explore one man's reflections on love and life. It serves as a reminder that even centuries later, art continues to transcend time and evoke powerful emotions within its viewers.
