EDITORS COMMENTS
Sweet Resistance" (La douce résistance) is a captivating 18th century artwork by Salvatore Tresca, showcasing an intimate moment of resistance and romance between a man and a woman. The scene is set in a richly decorated bedroom, with an ornate armchair standing proudly against a red damask-covered wall. The room is filled with the warm glow of sunlight filtering through the doors, casting a soft light on the couple. The man, dressed in a fashionable coat and breeches, embraces a woman in a flowing dress, her back to the viewer. Her arms are wrapped around his neck, and their faces are lost in a tender moment of affection. The contrast between the formal attire of the man and the casual, relaxed posture of the woman adds to the allure of the image. The artwork is a masterpiece of color stipple and etching, with intricate details and subtle shading that bring the scene to life. The use of color adds depth and texture to the image, making the couple's clothing and the furnishings in the room stand out. The chair, with its elegant curves and ornate decorations, serves as a backdrop to the couple's embrace. The title "Sweet Resistance" suggests a sense of defiance or rebellion, but in this context, it seems to refer to the couple's resistance to the outside world and their embrace of the moment. The artwork is a testament to the power of love and the desire for intimacy, even in the most formal of settings. This beautiful artwork is a treasure of the Rococo era and a must-see for anyone interested in 18th century art, fashion, or interiors. It can be found in the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., among the many other masterpieces of European art.
