EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases an exquisite illustration from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel, "La Mye du Roy" beautifully brought to life by the talented artist Leon Lebegue. Created in 1902, this edition of the novel captures the essence of French literature during that era. The image depicts a young girl, elegantly dressed as a courtesan, gazing into the distance with an air of mystery. The engraving skillfully portrays her vulnerability and sensuality simultaneously. Her nudity symbolizes both societal constraints and eroticism prevalent during Balzac's time. The theme of infidelity is subtly hinted at through references to monarchy and adultery, reflecting Balzac's exploration of human relationships within a rigid social structure. The inclusion of a king suggests power dynamics and political intrigue that often accompany such liaisons. Honore de Balzac (1799-1850), one of France's most celebrated writers, delves deep into the complexities of human nature through his literary works. His ability to capture emotions and depict society with vivid detail has earned him immense respect among readers worldwide. Giancarlo Costa expertly captures this iconic piece from private collection for all art enthusiasts to appreciate its historical significance. This stunning print serves as a reminder of Balzac's enduring legacy in European literature while showcasing Lebegue's exceptional talent as an illustrator.
