EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 17th century, capturing a moment of intense literary passion. The artwork, titled "Le Lutrin, Chant II (Boileau)", was created by French artist Maxime Dethomas in the early 1920s. It depicts two individuals engrossed in a dramatic scene from Nicolas Boileau Despreaux's poem. The setting is an elegant country interior with a large window allowing natural light to illuminate the room. A man and a woman are positioned at opposite ends of a table covered in books and papers, their gestures conveying deep emotion as they engage with the literature before them. The man appears to be gesturing passionately while reciting lines from Boileau's work, while the lady listens intently, her hand delicately placed on her chest as if overcome by its beauty. Dethomas' monochrome composition adds depth and intensity to this snapshot of literary fervor. The image captures not only the essence of French culture but also reflects the artistic style prevalent during that time period. As we gaze upon this print, we are transported into an era where poetry held immense power and influence over society. It serves as a reminder of how art has always been able to evoke strong emotions within us and connect people across centuries through shared passions for literature and creativity.
