EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the enchanting couple, Pierre de Ronsard and Cassandre Salviati. The engraving, created by Claude Mellan in 1598-1688, captures the essence of these two historical figures with great finesse. Pierre de Ronsard, a renowned French poet and member of Pleiade, is depicted at the age of twenty-seven alongside his muse and lover, Cassandre Salviati. This series of sonnets and odes dedicated to Cassandre exemplifies their deep connection as she was the daughter of a prominent banker. In this portrait, Ronsard stands tall with a crown adorned on his head while holding a wreath made from laurel leaves and myrtle flowers - symbols associated with love and poetry. His bearded countenance exudes wisdom and sophistication as he dons an elegant toga reminiscent of Roman emperors during the Renaissance era. Cassandre's beauty shines through her idealized portrayal; her bare breast subtly alluding to her role as inspiration for Ronsard's poetic creations. A delicate cartouche frames their double profile in an oval shape, emphasizing their unity as lovers. Mellan's attention to detail extends even to their hairstyles - meticulously crafted in true Italian fashion. This remarkable artwork now resides in Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing image captured centuries ago, we are transported into the world where love intertwines with literature –
