EDITORS COMMENTS
In this enchanting print, we are transported to the streets of Cordoba, where a serenade unfolds under the moonlight. The scene captures the essence of romance as a lover stands with his guitar in hand, speaking softly through a wire mesh window to his beloved. The artist Gustave Dore beautifully depicts this intimate moment, showcasing the power of music and poetry to express deep emotions. As the lover recites poems or sings a song, one can almost hear the melodic notes floating through the night air. Dore's intricate engravings bring every detail to life, from the delicate lines etched into each building facade to the subtle expressions on both figures' faces. The contrast between light and shadow adds an ethereal quality to this scene. This drawing was created by Dore in 1862 for Charles Davillier's book about their voyage in Spain. It was later published in "Le tour du monde" edited by Edouard Charton in 1867. As we gaze upon this timeless image captured by Leonard de Selva's lens, we are reminded of love's ability to transcend barriers and connect souls across time and space. It serves as a poignant reminder that even amidst darkness, beauty can be found when two hearts unite under a serenade in the moonlight.
