EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures an exquisite illustration for Gustave Flaubert's timeless masterpiece, Madame Bovary. Created by the talented artist Umberto Brunelleschi in 1953 and published by Gibert Jeune, this colour engraving beautifully brings to life the essence of Flaubert's iconic novel. The image transports us into a private interior setting, where we find ourselves witnessing an intimate moment. A woman is seated in front of a mirror, engrossed in her grooming routine. Her delicate dressing gown drapes elegantly around her as she meticulously tends to her hair. The room exudes a sense of tranquility and femininity. Intriguingly, we notice another figure reflected in the mirror - a nude man standing behind her. This reveals a couple sharing an intimate connection within their own sanctuary. The vulnerability and nakedness portrayed here symbolize the raw emotions experienced by Flaubert's protagonist Emma Bovary throughout the novel. The artist's masterful technique shines through every stroke of this engraving, capturing both the physical beauty and emotional depth of these characters. It is no wonder that this artwork has found its place within a private collection. Through this enchanting visual representation, we are reminded of Madame Bovary's enduring legacy as one of literature's most compelling explorations of love, desire, and human nature itself.
