EDITORS COMMENTS
Vent d Est - engraving, 18th century captures the essence of an intricate allegory through the skilled artistry of French School. This print, housed in Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, transports viewers to a world where symbolism reigns supreme. In this enchanting scene, a powerful wind known as Vent d Est sweeps across the heavens. The wind is personified by an angelic figure gracefully blowing his trumpet, unleashing its force upon the earth. As it travels through the celestial realm, it encounters various creatures representing different aspects of human knowledge and nature's wonders. A tawny lion stands tall and regal beside a musician playing his instrument with utmost passion. These figures symbolize strength and creativity respectively while embodying humanity's connection to both music and wildlife. The presence of a serpent intertwining itself within this allegorical narrative adds another layer of intrigue. Representing wisdom and cunningness, the snake serves as a reminder that knowledge can be both enlightening and dangerous. As rays from the sun illuminate this celestial spectacle, one cannot help but marvel at Leonard de Selva's masterful execution in capturing every minute detail. Through meticulous engravings on paper, he immortalizes this mesmerizing moment for generations to appreciate. Vent d Est - engraving takes us on an imaginative journey into a world where animals coexist harmoniously with heavenly beings; where winds carry profound messages; where symbols come alive to convey deeper meanings beyond their physical forms
