EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating oil painting that captures a significant historical encounter between three individuals. In this beautifully colored artwork by Richard Fleury Francois, we see the renowned writer and philosopher Michel Eyquem de Montaigne visiting Torquato Tasso, an Italian poet who was imprisoned during the late 16th century. The composition of the painting centers around a grand main staircase, symbolizing the passage between freedom and captivity. Montaigne stands at the bottom of the stairs, his presence exuding curiosity and empathy as he engages with Tasso. The two men share a profound connection through their shared love for literature and poetry. As we delve into this piece of art, we are transported back in time to witness this extraordinary encounter unfold before our eyes. The artist's meticulous attention to detail brings every element to life – from the intricate architecture of Lyon's Musee des Beaux-Arts to the expressions on each character's face. "The Cup in prison visited by Montaigne" not only showcases Fleury's artistic prowess but also serves as a reminder of the power of human connection across borders and barriers. It encapsulates history, literature, philosophy, and art all within its vibrant canvas. This print by Kim Young Tae allows us to bring home a piece of cultural heritage while immersing ourselves in an intriguing narrative that transcends time and space.
