EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the intriguing world of grotesque faces from Honore de Balzac's Les Contes Drolatiques. Engraved by Predhomme, this masterpiece captures the essence of Balzac's unique storytelling. Each face tells a different story, with its own hat, grimace, and caricature. Gustave Dore has skillfully brought these characters to life through his meticulous engraving technique. The Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris is home to this remarkable piece of French art history that dates back to the 19th century. In this image, we are introduced to eleven grotesque faces that leave us both fascinated and repulsed. These male figures bear the weight of age on their wrinkled skin while showcasing an array of warts and imperfections. Their expressions range from comical to sinister, inviting viewers into a study of ugliness like no other. As we gaze upon each face individually or as a collective whole, we cannot help but be drawn into their stories. This print serves as a reminder that beauty can be found even in unconventional forms. With its out-of-copyright status, this artwork is now available for all art enthusiasts to appreciate without any commercial limitations.
