A Lady and a Nun Engaged in a Heated Debate over an Unconventional Object, 18th Century
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This intriguing engraving captures a fascinating moment of controversy and tension within the confines of an elegant parlour during the 18th century. The scene depicts a lady and a nun engaged in a passionate argument, their faces flushed with emotion. However, what truly captivates the viewer's attention is the object at the center of their dispute – a dildo. In this thought-provoking artwork by Antoine Borel, we witness not only an intense rivalry between two individuals but also themes of desire, religion, and societal norms. The presence of the nun adds another layer to this already complex narrative as it challenges our expectations regarding religious figures. The engraving is based on Jean-Charles Gervaise de Latouche's erotic novel "Le Portier des Chartreux" which was written by Latouche himself in the 18th century. This controversial work explores taboo subjects such as sexuality and religion while providing social commentary on French society at that time. Through Francois Rolland Elluin's heliogravure technique, every intricate detail comes to life – from the delicate expressions on their faces to the ornate furnishings surrounding them. This print serves as both historical documentation and artistic expression, shedding light on human desires and societal constraints during this period. As we gaze upon this image from Fine Art Finder's private collection, we are reminded that art has always been a powerful medium for exploring unconventional ideas and challenging established beliefs.
