EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Fay Melusine, from whose Flanks springs the Genealogical Tree of Kings and Emperors". Created by the French School in 1878, this engraving is a remarkable piece from the book "Science and Literature in the Middle Ages and Renaissance" written and engraved by Paul Lacroix. Intriguingly, The Fay Melusine appears as a female figure with an enchanting upper body but transforms into a serpent from her waist down once every month due to a curse. This woodcut illustration portrays her unique form with intricate scales that shimmer against the dark backdrop. What makes this artwork even more fascinating is its connection to history. The Genealogical Tree of Kings and Emperors springs forth from Melusine's flanks, symbolizing her role as the founder of Luxembourg. It depicts how she played an integral part in shaping royal lineages throughout time. As we delve into this mesmerizing image, we are reminded of fairy tales where princesses possess extraordinary powers or face curses that shape their destinies. The artist skillfully captures both the ethereal beauty of Melusine and the weight of her curse through delicate lines etched onto paper. This print not only serves as an artistic masterpiece but also invites us to explore themes such as mythology, folklore, and medieval history. It transports us back to a time when legends intertwined with reality, leaving us captivated by their enduring allure.
