EDITORS COMMENTS
The Light," a captivating lithograph by Alexandre Lunois from his third album of L'Estampe originale, dates back to 1893. This exquisite work of art is a testament to the beauty and elegance of the Art Nouveau movement that swept through France during the late 19th century. The central figure of the composition is a woman, dressed in the fashionable attire of the era. She stands on a balcony, her back turned to the viewer, gazing out at the picturesque countryside beyond. The architectural feature of the balcony, with its intricate, flowing designs, is a prime example of the organic and fluid forms that characterize Art Nouveau. The woman's dress, in shades of blue, red, and yellow, is a stunning contrast to the tan wove paper on which the lithograph is printed. Her hat, adorned with a ribbon, adds a touch of femininity to the image. The use of lithotint, a technique that involves printing multiple colors from a single stone, allows for a rich and nuanced depiction of the scene. The title "The Light" suggests the importance of natural light in the composition. The woman seems to be bathed in the soft, golden glow of the setting sun, adding to the dreamlike quality of the image. The overall effect is one of serenity and tranquility, inviting the viewer to pause and reflect on the simple pleasures of life. This beautiful lithograph is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and delight visitors from around the world. It is a reminder of the enduring power of art to transport us to another time and place, and to remind us of the beauty and wonder that can be found in even the most ordinary moments of life.
