EDITORS COMMENTS
In this sepia print, we are transported to a mysterious scene from the 18th century. A young woman is seen deep in consultation with a necromancer, seeking answers and guidance from the occult world. The artist, Jean-Honoré Fragonard, masterfully captures the intensity of their interaction. The young woman sits attentively across from the necromancer, her eyes fixed on him with both curiosity and trepidation. In her hand rests a magnifying glass, symbolizing her desire to delve deeper into hidden knowledge. The necromancer himself appears wise and enigmatic, his gaze focused as he performs an ancient ritual. Surrounding them is an array of mystical objects - books filled with arcane wisdom, astrological charts mapping out celestial movements, and drawings hinting at secret symbols. An owl perched nearby adds an air of mysticism to the atmosphere. This artwork invites us into a world where divination and magic hold sway over human curiosity. It reminds us that throughout history people have sought solace in supernatural practices when faced with life's uncertainties. Displayed at Musee Marmottan Monet in Paris, this piece not only showcases Fragonard's artistic prowess but also serves as a testament to humanity's enduring fascination with the unknown realms beyond our understanding.
