EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating illustration from the renowned novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Chodlerlos de Laclos. This pochoir print, created in the 1920s by Georges Barbier, beautifully captures the essence of forbidden love and clandestine affairs. The scene depicted showcases a dangerous liaison between two individuals enveloped in candlelight. The female figure, her face partially hidden in shadow, exudes an air of mystery and allure. Her lover stands nearby, his gaze fixed upon her with intense longing. They meet behind a closed door, their secret rendezvous concealed from prying eyes. The play of light and shadows adds depth to this evocative artwork. The flickering lamp casts intricate patterns on the walls, heightening the sense of intimacy and secrecy surrounding their meeting. It is as if they exist within their own world - a realm where societal norms are disregarded for stolen moments of passion. Barbier's skillful use of color and detail brings this illustration to life. Every brushstroke contributes to the overall ambiance, capturing both the sensuality and danger inherent in these illicit relationships. This piece not only serves as an exquisite work of art but also offers insight into French culture during that era. It reflects themes prevalent in literature at that time – love entangled with deceit and desire intertwined with consequences. In "A Couple in Candlelight". Barbier masterfully encapsulates the complexity of human emotions while paying homage to Laclos' timeless
