EDITORS COMMENTS
Adultery, c. 1850 (engraving) captures a tense and scandalous moment in the private lives of a French couple during the 19th century. In this gripping scene, a husband is depicted anxiously searching his wife's bed for her secret lover. The engraving skillfully portrays the suspense and betrayal that permeate the atmosphere. The composition cleverly conceals the lover behind a door, heightening the sense of intrigue and deceit. The artist's attention to detail is evident in every element of this historical piece; from the intricate engravings on furniture to the delicate expressions on each character's face. This print offers us an intriguing glimpse into societal norms and expectations surrounding fidelity during this era. It reflects both personal turmoil within relationships as well as broader themes of trust, loyalty, and human nature. The setting itself adds depth to our understanding of these characters' lives - their opulent townhouse serves as both a sanctuary and a breeding ground for secrets. Through this artwork, we are transported back in time to witness an intimate moment fraught with emotion. Bridgeman Images has expertly preserved this engraving from history, allowing us to appreciate its artistic merit while contemplating timeless themes such as love, betrayal, and moral dilemmas.
