EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print captures a scene from the renowned novel "La Nouvelle Heloise" by Jean-Jacques Rousseau. This particular illustration, found on volume I, page 279, depicts Saint-Preux escaping from an unknown predicament. Engraved by Noel Le Mire, the intricate details bring to life the emotions and tension of this pivotal moment. In this image, we see Saint-Preux anxiously making his way down a grand staircase while being accompanied by a female companion. The couple's attire suggests they belong to the aristocracy, adding an air of elegance and sophistication to their characters. As they descend the stairs together, it becomes evident that there is a strong bond between them - perhaps even romantic in nature. The composition skillfully captures both action and emotion as Saint-Preux's face reveals determination mixed with fear while his lover supports him through this daring escape. The use of light and shadow adds depth to the engraving, enhancing its dramatic effect. This print serves as a visual representation of Rousseau's literary masterpiece that explores themes of love, passion, and societal constraints. It transports us back in time to witness these complex characters' struggles against societal norms. Displayed at Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this historical artwork continues to captivate viewers with its timeless beauty and narrative power.
