EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from the opera "Zemire and Azor" by Marmontel, painted by Antoine Francois Saint-Aubert in 1788. The oil on canvas artwork is currently housed at the Musee Municipal in Cambrai, France. In this image, we see Zemire and Azor, two central characters of the opera, depicted in an intimate moment. They are seated together amidst a dark interior illuminated only by candlelight. The flickering flames cast a warm glow on their faces as they engage in conversation or perhaps share a tender exchange. The composition exudes an air of mystery and romance as it transports us into the nocturnal world of the story. It is evident that both Zemire and Azor are deeply engrossed in their own thoughts or emotions, adding to the intrigue of this captured moment. The opera itself is based on Jeanne-Marie Le Prince de Beaumont's famous fairy tale "Beauty and the Beast". With its roots in literature, this artistic masterpiece brings to life these beloved characters through music composed by Andre Gretry and lyrics penned by Jean Francois Marmontel. This print not only showcases exceptional artistry but also serves as a reminder of how different forms of creative expression can intertwine to create something truly enchanting.
