EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases Jean Baptiste Santerre's masterpiece, "Fille a la bougie (Girl with a candle)". Painted in the 18th century, this French artwork depicts a young woman holding a lit candle, exuding an air of mystery and elegance. The oil on canvas painting measures 64 x 79 cm and is currently housed in the Musee des Beaux Arts Pouchkine in Moscow. The girl's serene expression suggests she is engrossed in her reading material, perhaps indulging in romantic literature or love letters. The soft glow of the candle illuminates her face and surroundings, creating an intimate atmosphere that hints at seduction and gallantry. This scene evokes feelings of confidence and friendship as if she were sharing secrets with someone dear to her heart. Santerre masterfully captures the essence of 17th-century France through his use of color and attention to detail. The vibrant hues add depth to the composition while highlighting the girl's beauty. Her elegant attire reflects the fashion trends of that era. This print transports viewers back to a time when declarations of love were written by hand, sealed with wax, and delivered by mail. It serves as a reminder of how art can capture fleeting moments from history for generations to appreciate its timeless beauty.
