EDITORS COMMENTS
This enchanting print captures the whimsical and playful side of renowned French composer Jules Massenet (1842-1912) in a satirical depiction from the year 1909. The image shows Massenet in a pastoral setting, seated at the edge of a lush green field, with a grand piano seemingly appearing out of nowhere. The composer, dressed in a suit and hat, appears surprised and slightly amused as he reaches out to touch a butterfly that has landed on his hand. Intriguingly, a snake slithers nearby, adding an element of intrigue and perhaps a hint of the complexities that come with being a celebrated artist. The satirical nature of the print is further emphasized by the fantastical elements of the scene, which defy the laws of reality. Massenet's connection to the natural world is highlighted through the presence of the butterfly and the serene setting, reflecting his deep appreciation for the beauty and inspiration that nature provides. Massenet, known for his operas and other musical compositions, was a prominent figure in French music during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. This miniature print offers a delightful and unconventional glimpse into the personal side of the composer, allowing us to see him in a more human and playful light. With its charming imagery and thought-provoking elements, this print is a must-have for any collection focused on French art, music, or the history of composers.
