Rolla, 1878
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Henri Gervex is a captivating oil painting that transports viewers to an intimate bedroom scene from the late 19th century. Measuring at an impressive 175x220 cm, this artwork can be found in the Musee des Beaux-Arts in Bordeaux, France. The painting depicts a post-coital moment between two lovers. The room is strewn with discarded clothing and disheveled bed sheets, indicating the passion that has just taken place. The female figure lies peacefully on the bed, her body partially covered by a white sheet while her lover rests beside her. Gervex's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this composition. From the intricate folds of fabric on the corset lying on a chair to the softness of the pillows and bedding, he captures both sensuality and vulnerability within this private space. While nudity is present in "Rolla" it serves as a symbol of intimacy rather than mere eroticism. Gervex explores themes of love and connection through his portrayal of these lovers' tender embrace. This timeless masterpiece invites us to reflect upon our own experiences with love and desire. It reminds us that moments like these are universal - they transcend time and place. As we gaze upon "Rolla" we become witnesses to an intimate encounter frozen in time; it allows us to appreciate not only Gervex's artistic skill but also our shared humanity when it comes to matters of the heart.
