EDITORS COMMENTS
This illustration from Les Liaisons Dangereuses by Pierre Choderlos de Laclos takes us back to the scandalous world of 18th-century France. Created in 1934 by Georges Barbier, this pochoir print beautifully captures the essence of the novel's intricate web of love affairs and dangerous liaisons. In this scene, we witness a clandestine meeting between a female lover and her suitor, a young boy. They find solace in each other's arms within the confines of a carriage, accompanied only by their discreet coachman. The hat box beside them serves as a symbol of secrecy, hiding their forbidden desires from prying eyes. Barbier's exquisite attention to detail brings every element to life - from the delicate expressions on their faces to the ornate interior of the carriage. The maid peering through the window adds an extra layer of intrigue and potential gossip. Through his masterful brushstrokes, Barbier transports us into an era where sexual intrigue thrived behind closed doors and reputations were at stake. This artwork is not just an illustration; it is a visual representation of society's fascination with forbidden love and its consequences. As we gaze upon this mesmerizing piece, we are reminded that even in our modern world, tales like Les Liaisons Dangereuses continue to captivate our imagination with their timeless themes of desire, betrayal, and ultimately. . . the dangers that lie within affairs of the heart.
