EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Prelude, from Journal des Femmes, 1830-48" transports us back to the elegant and refined society of 19th-century France. Created by Achille Deveria, a renowned French artist of that era, this colour lithograph captures a moment of musical harmony and feminine grace. The image showcases two women engrossed in their shared passion for music. Seated at an exquisite piano in an opulent interior setting, they are depicted as both singers and players. Their hands gracefully glide across the keys while their voices intertwine in perfect synchrony. The sheet music before them hints at the complexity of the composition they are performing – a prelude that sets the stage for enchantment. This artwork not only celebrates the beauty of music but also highlights its role as a social activity during this period. Music was often enjoyed within intimate settings among friends or family members, providing entertainment and fostering connections between individuals. Preserved within Musee Carnavalet in Paris, France, this piece serves as a testament to Deveria's artistic talent and his ability to capture fleeting moments with great detail and emotion. As we gaze upon this print today, we can almost hear the melodious notes emanating from the piano and feel ourselves transported into that sophisticated world where artistry thrived alongside societal refinement.
