EDITORS COMMENTS
This pochoir print, titled "Illustration from Les Liaisons Dangereuses" transports us to the scandalous world of 18th-century French society. Created by renowned illustrator Georges Barbier in 1934, this artwork brings to life the characters and themes of Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' infamous novel. In this scene, we find ourselves in a sumptuous bedroom adorned with ornate furnishings. The Marquise Isabelle de Merteuil reclines on a shell-shaped sofa, her opulent wig and plumed feathers exuding luxury and decadence. Le Chevalier Raphael Danceny stands nearby, his c18th costume adding to the allure of their secret affair. The atmosphere is charged with eroticism as Isabelle writes a seductive letter while dolphins playfully adorn the bed's headboard. This illustration captures both the overt sexuality and intricate social dynamics that define "Les Liaisons Dangereuses". Barbier's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every brushstroke, capturing not only the physical beauty of his subjects but also their emotional depth. The artist masterfully conveys the power dynamics at play within this dangerous liaison through subtle gestures and expressions. As we gaze upon this provocative artwork, we are reminded of the timeless allure of sexual intrigue and its consequences. It serves as a testament to Barbier's talent as an illustrator and offers us a glimpse into an era defined by scandalous affairs hidden behind closed doors.
