EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intricate beauty of the "Carte du Tendre" an imaginary map created by a character in Mademoiselle de Scudery's novel, Clélie. Crafted in 1654, this illustration transports us to a world where love reigns supreme and geography is intertwined with matters of the heart. In Clélie, Scudéry masterfully weaves together a tale set in Arcadia, an idyllic paradise depicted on this very map. As we gaze upon its delicate details, we are transported into a realm where rivers flow with affection and mountains rise as symbols of devotion. Each landmark represents various stages and aspects of love: from the treacherous paths of Doubt to the enchanting gardens of Blissful Union. The Carte du Tendre serves not only as a visual representation but also as a metaphorical guide for navigating the complexities of human emotions. It invites us to explore our own emotional landscapes and discover hidden territories within ourselves. Nastasic's skillful capture allows us to appreciate every stroke and contour that brings this imaginary world to life. The soft hues evoke feelings of nostalgia while reminding us that love has been both cherished and pondered throughout history. As we admire this remarkable piece, let it serve as a reminder that even within fiction lies profound wisdom about human connections. Let it inspire us to embark on our own journey through the landscape of love, guided by imagination and fueled by passion.
