EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of Eve and David Sechard, two beloved characters from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel "Les Illusions perdues". Illustrated by Celestin Francois Nanteuil in 1842, this engraving beautifully portrays the intimate connection between these fictional lovers. Eve and David Sechard are depicted seated together in a modest interior setting, reflecting their provincial lives. The image exudes a sense of shyness and tenderness as they lean towards each other, their eyes filled with love. Their body language speaks volumes about their deep affection for one another. David Sechard, a scientist and inventor, is shown as an intelligent yet humble man who has purchased his father's printing works. His groundbreaking invention of a new method for paper production revolutionizes the industry. Eve Sechard complements him perfectly as his devoted wife, supporting him through thick and thin. The couple's story unfolds within the larger context of Balzac's masterpiece "La Comedie Humaine" specifically in part I titled "Les deux poetes" (The Two Poets). As close friends to Lucien de Rubempre, they navigate life in Angouleme while pursuing their dreams amidst societal challenges. This remarkable print not only showcases the artistic talent of Nanteuil but also transports us into the world created by Balzac. It reminds us of the power of love and companionship that can thrive even in seemingly ordinary circumstances.
