EDITORS COMMENTS
This stunning colour lithograph print of a Brunelleschi illustration for Contes et Nouvelles de La Fontaine captures the essence of sensuality and eroticism in 17th century France. The intricate details and vibrant colours bring to life the story of lovers entwined in a forbidden romance, set against the backdrop of religious orders and societal constraints. The image depicts a nun and her lover, their faces hidden behind veils but their bodies intertwined in a passionate embrace. The tension between desire and duty is palpable, as they navigate the complexities of their relationship within the confines of their respective roles in society. The artist, Umberto Brunelleschi, skillfully conveys the emotional depth of the characters through subtle gestures and expressions. The soft hues and delicate lines create a sense of intimacy that draws the viewer into the scene, inviting contemplation on themes of love, sacrifice, and rebellion. As we gaze upon this evocative artwork, we are reminded of Jean de La Fontaine's timeless tales that explore human nature with wit and wisdom. This print serves as a visual interpretation of his work, capturing both its beauty and complexity for generations to come.
