EDITORS COMMENTS
The scandalous affair of the Tower of Nesle comes to life in this photo print, depicting Marguerite de Burgundy leaving the infamous tower under the cover of night. The year is 1314, and as she boards a boat to escape the clutches of scandal and intrigue, her expression betrays a mix of fear and determination.
Marguerite's story is one shrouded in mystery and betrayal, as she navigates the treacherous waters of court politics and forbidden love. As she glides away from the tower on the Seine River, one can't help but wonder about the secrets she carries with her.
The engraving captures a moment frozen in time, showcasing not only Marguerite's beauty but also her resilience in the face of adversity. The details are exquisite - from the intricate patterns on her gown to the subtle play of light and shadow on her face.
This image serves as a reminder that even in times long past, human emotions remain universal. Love, betrayal, ambition - they all come together in this hauntingly beautiful scene. And as we gaze upon Marguerite's departure from the Tower of Nesle, we are reminded that some stories are meant to be remembered forever.
