EDITORS COMMENTS
Abbe Fanfreluche, the enigmatic protagonist of Aubrey Beardsley's unfinished novel "Under the Hill," is depicted in this image. Dated around 1895, this photograph print offers a glimpse into the world of Beardsley's imaginative and darkly romantic vision. Abbe Fanfreluche, often referred to simply as "Abbé," is a mysterious and androgynous character who inhabits the underworld of Paris. With her distinctive, flowing white hair and her dark, piercing eyes, she is both alluring and unsettling. In Beardsley's novel, she is described as a "priestess of the moon," a guardian of the supernatural, and a guide to those who venture into the unknown. The photograph print captures the essence of Abbe Fanfreluche's otherworldly nature, with her ethereal appearance and the haunting, otherworldly atmosphere of the scene. The title "Under the Hill" suggests a journey into the unknown, a descent into the depths of the unconscious mind, and the photograph reflects this sense of mystery and intrigue. Aubrey Beardsley was a leading figure of the Decadent movement in late-Victorian England, known for his innovative and provocative illustrations. His work, which often explored themes of the supernatural, the occult, and the erotic, was both celebrated and condemned for its boldness and its challenge to societal norms. This photograph print of Abbe Fanfreluche is a testament to Beardsley's artistic vision and his ability to capture the imagination of his audience. It invites us to explore the depths of the human psyche, to delve into the unknown, and to embrace the mysteries of the world around us.
