EDITORS COMMENTS
In this evocative 16th-century print, the countess Genevieve de Brabant, also known as Genevieve of Brabant, the Palatine Countess of Malines, stands in the heart of a wild forest, her back to the viewer, her hands pressed against the trunk of a tree as she weeps. Behind her, her husband, Count Golo of Hainaut, strides forward with a determined expression, a hand reaching out as if to accuse. The scene is set in the lush, verdant forest, with the sun filtering through the trees, casting dappled light on the forest floor. The story behind this poignant image is one of love, betrayal, and redemption. According to the legend, Countess Genevieve, a beautiful and virtuous woman, was falsely accused of adultery by her husband, Count Golo. Consumed by jealousy and lust, Golo turned her out of their home, leaving her to fend for herself in the forest. Alone and desperate, Genevieve was saved by a doe, who led her to her loyal servant Benoni. Together, they survived in the forest, living off the land and relying on each other for support. The print captures the moment of Genevieve's despair, as she turns her back on her husband and seeks solace in the natural world. The doe, a symbol of innocence and grace, stands nearby, watching over the countess and offering a glimmer of hope in the midst of her suffering. The image speaks to the enduring power of nature to provide comfort and solace, even in the darkest of times. This historical print, circa 1580, is a testament to the rich and complex stories that have shaped European history. It invites us to reflect on the themes of love, loyalty, and redemption, and to appreciate the beauty and resilience of the natural world.
