EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, taken in 1908, we are transported into the elegant and refined world of Edmund C. Converse's residence, located at the Conyers Farm estate in Greenwich, Connecticut. The image, captured by renowned American photographer Frances Benjamin Johnston, showcases the exquisite interior design of the home, with a particular focus on the living room and its striking centerpiece: William Adolphe Bouguereau's masterpiece, "Flight of Love," hanging above the fireplace. The room is adorned with French provincial furniture, which adds to the Old World charm and sophistication of the space. The heavily draped windows at the left side of the image filter the sunlight, casting a warm and inviting glow over the scene. The fireplace, complete with a firescreen, adds a cozy touch to the room, making it a perfect setting for relaxation and contemplation. Bouguereau's "Flight of Love," an allegorical painting depicting the god Cupid in mid-flight, is the focal point of the room. The painting's ethereal and dreamlike quality is beautifully complemented by the muted tones and soft lighting of the photograph. The allegorical figure of Cupid, with his bow and arrow, symbolizes the power of love and desire, adding a romantic and timeless element to the space. This photograph is a testament to the beauty and elegance of early 20th century American interior design, and serves as a reminder of the enduring appeal of classic art and its ability to transform a space into a work of art itself. The Conyers Farm estate, designed by Donn Barber in 1904, remains a significant example of the architectural and artistic achievements of the era. This image is part of the Frances Benjamin Johnston Collection at the Library of Congress, and is a valuable resource for scholars and enthusiasts of American history, art, and interior design.
