EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the intimate moment of Heloise and Abelard in their study, as illustrated in Lettres d'Heloise et d'Abelard. Created by Jean Michel Moreau the Younger and engraved by Noel Le Mire in 1795, this image showcases the profound connection between these two historical figures. Heloise (1101-64), a French nun, scholar, and abbess, is depicted alongside her teacher and lover Pierre Abelard (1079-1142), a renowned scholastic philosopher, logician, and theologian. The couple is seen sitting at a table surrounded by books while basking in the warm glow of a lamp. Their embrace speaks volumes about their passionate love affair that defied societal norms during medieval times. This image offers us a glimpse into their private world where they found solace within each other's arms amidst their intellectual pursuits. The composition beautifully portrays not only their physical closeness but also the emotional bond that united them as author, writer, poet, composer - partners who shared both knowledge and affection. Preserved within the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France; this engraving serves as a testament to Heloise and Abelard's enduring legacy. It reminds us of an extraordinary love story that transcended time itself – one that continues to captivate hearts even centuries later.
