EDITORS COMMENTS
In this pochoir print, we witness a pivotal moment in the dangerous liaisons of Danceny and Cecile. Illustrated by Georges Barbier, the scene depicts Danceny declaring his ardent love to Cecile de Volanges from Pierre Choderlos de Laclos' renowned novel Les Liaisons Dangereuses. The composition exudes an air of opulence and luxury, with ornate furnishings and a grand chandelier illuminating the room. The female figure sits on an overturned chair, her expression filled with intrigue as she listens to Danceny's heartfelt confession. He kneels before her on bended knee, emphasizing his vulnerability and devotion. The tension between them is palpable; their flirtatious gazes hint at the forbidden nature of their affair. A bell pull hangs nearby, symbolizing both secrecy and temptation. The fire crackles in the background, mirroring the passion that burns within them. Barbier's meticulous attention to detail brings this intimate moment to life. From the intricate patterns adorning Cecile's dress to the delicate sconces casting soft light upon their faces, every element enhances our understanding of their complex relationship. This evocative artwork captures not only a specific scene but also encapsulates themes of desire, manipulation, and betrayal found throughout Les Liaisons Dangereuses. It serves as a testament to Barbier's skill as an illustrator and invites viewers into a world where love can be both intoxicatingly beautiful and perilously
