EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment frozen in time - the meeting of two great minds, Andre Gide and Maria van Rysselberghe, in Weimar, Germany in 1903. The French photographer skillfully captured this intimate encounter between the renowned writer and the wife of Belgian neo-Impressionist painter Theo van Rysselberghe. In this image, Maria stands tall with her coat and hat on, exuding an air of elegance. She is known as "La Petite Dame" a fitting nickname for someone who was not only a talented writer herself but also a close friend to many literary figures during the belle epoque era. The backdrop of the cemetery adds an intriguing layer to the photograph. Perhaps it symbolizes their shared interest in mortality or serves as a reminder that even great friendships are ultimately fleeting. Andre Gide's presence beside Maria is significant; he was not only one of France's most celebrated authors but also a dear friend to her late husband. This image captures their deep connection and mutual respect for each other's work. As we gaze upon this historical artifact from the early 20th century, we are reminded of the power of friendship within artistic circles. It serves as a testament to how literature can bring people together across borders and generations. This photograph offers us glimpses into both personal relationships and literary history - truly capturing an essence that transcends time itself.
