EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photo print, we are transported to the intimate scene from chapter 7 of Francois Voltaire's renowned novel, Candide. The illustration, skillfully crafted by Jean Michel the Younger Moreau, captures a pivotal moment as an old woman urges Candide to remove his veil. The image exudes an air of mystery and intrigue as we witness the unveiling of truth and enlightenment. The old woman's wise gaze meets Candide's eyes with determination, urging him to shed his inhibitions and confront reality head-on. As our eyes wander through the details of the engraving, we notice every element carefully placed to convey a deeper meaning. Cupping her breast in surprise, she holds onto Candide's attention while simultaneously revealing a hidden aspect of himself that he may have been unaware of until now. Within the confines of this boudoir setting, love intertwines with astonishment as Candide discovers not only his object of affection but also a newfound understanding about himself. This philosophical tale takes us on a journey where veils are lifted both literally and metaphorically. This remarkable artwork invites us into its world where secrets are unveiled and truths are discovered. It serves as a reminder that sometimes it is necessary to let go of our preconceived notions and embrace what lies beneath the surface – for it is there that true enlightenment awaits us all.
