EDITORS COMMENTS
Charles Louis Lingée's etching, "Joconde: Le lit" (The Bed of Joconde), captures the enchanting scene of a young woman, blindfolded and lying on a sumptuous bed, surrounded by the opulence of an eighteenth-century French bedchamber. This image, created in the 1700s, is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France and the enduring allure of Fragonard's iconic character, Joconde. The woman, naked beneath the bed sheets, appears to be in a state of deep slumber, her innocent expression conveying a sense of serene contentment. The intricate inscription at the bottom of the print, "Joconde endormie," further emphasizes the sleeping theme. The artist masterfully employs contrasting elements, such as the stark white of the woman's skin against the dark, rich tones of the bed and the room's furnishings. Lingée's etching, "Joconde: Le lit," is a beautiful representation of the concept of love and the sensuality of the human form. The young woman's lover, hidden from view, adds an element of mystery and intrigue to the scene. The climbing vines and foliage that adorn the room's walls and the ornate, golden bed frame further emphasize the romantic atmosphere. This evocative artwork, now housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art and the sensuality of the human experience. The image, with its timeless beauty and intricate details, continues to captivate viewers and inspire artists to this day.
