EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating lithograph titled "L'exercice impossible" transports viewers to the enchanting world of the Theatre des marionnettes du jardin des Tuileries in Paris, circa 1863. Created by Louis Edmond Duranty, this intricate artwork showcases his remarkable talent for both text and drawing. The scene depicted is filled with military elements, showcasing a soldier-like figure dressed in an elaborate costume. The attention to detail is evident as every aspect of the military uniform, from the hat to the sword, is meticulously rendered. The marionette's pose exudes strength and determination despite being suspended on strings like a puppet. This juxtaposition between power and fragility adds depth to the composition. Duranty's use of engraving techniques further enhances the visual impact of this piece. The lines are precise and delicate, capturing every nuance with precision. It evokes a sense of nostalgia for a bygone era while also highlighting the enduring beauty of French artistry. This print offers a glimpse into 19th-century France and its fascination with commedia dell'arte, blending theatricality with military aesthetics. It serves as a testament to Duranty's skillful storytelling through his art. Leonard de Selva has masterfully captured this timeless artwork through his lens, preserving it for future generations to appreciate. As we gaze upon this lithograph today, we are reminded of both Duranty's artistic genius and our own connection to history.
