EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite artwork titled "Reading from Paul et Virginie" by Marie Francoise Caroline Vallee. Painted in the 19th century, this oil on canvas masterpiece measures 56 x 69 cm and is currently held in a private collection. The painting depicts a serene moment of literary immersion as two figures engross themselves in reading. The artist's attention to detail is evident through her delicate brushstrokes, capturing the subtle nuances of light and shadow that dance upon their faces. The composition exudes an air of tranquility, inviting viewers to immerse themselves in the world of literature alongside these characters. Inscribed on the reverse side of the canvas is a heartfelt dedication from Madame Vallee herself, addressed to Georges de Lelee. It mentions that she painted this piece based on her sister Mme Philippine Garnier's work and also drew inspiration from Mme Meunier (nee Clementine Rousseau), who was both the daughter of General Baron Rousseau and daughter-in-law to General Baron Meunier from the First French Empire. This remarkable photograph not only captures Vallee's artistic brilliance but also serves as a testament to the enduring power of storytelling and its ability to transport us into different worlds.
