EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "L'Evasion" showcases a scene from the renowned novel "Histoire de Manon Lescaut et du chevalier Des Grieux" by L'abbé Prévost. The engraving, created by Maurice Leloir in 1885, beautifully captures the essence of this French literary masterpiece. In this image, we see a key symbolizing freedom and escape against the backdrop of a dark night. A prisoner stands at the center, his eyes filled with determination as he plans his evasion from jail. The presence of a goalkeeper suggests that he is not alone in his quest for liberty; perhaps there are others who share his desire to break free. The intricate details and skillful craftsmanship of Maurice Leloir's engravings bring this imaginary character to life. Every line and stroke tells a story, evoking emotions within the viewer and transporting them into the world of 18th-century France. As we gaze upon this print, we can't help but be reminded of the power of literature to inspire us and ignite our imagination. It serves as a testament to L'abbé Prévost's ability to create characters that resonate with readers even centuries later. This print is part of an esteemed private collection owned by Stefano Bianchetti. Its inclusion in Fine Art Finder allows art enthusiasts worldwide to appreciate its historical significance and artistic brilliance while paying homage to both French literature and engraving as an art form.
