EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal scene from Honore de Balzac's renowned novel, "Le Père Goriot". Created in 1896 as an illustration for the book, it transports us to the heart of the story. The image showcases Goriot at the Pension, an inn where characters from different walks of life converge. The engraving beautifully depicts a banquet taking place within this French establishment. Men and women dressed in mid to upper-class attire gather around a table adorned with sumptuous dishes. The atmosphere is filled with intrigue and tension as each character reveals their unique personality through subtle gestures and expressions. Balzac's masterful storytelling comes alive through this evocative visual representation. We can almost hear the clinking of glasses, smell the delicious aromas wafting through the air, and feel the palpable energy that permeates every corner of this scene. As part of The Granger Collection's Carousel collection, this print offers a glimpse into not only Balzac's literary world but also into late 19th-century France. It serves as a testament to how art can transcend time and transport us to different eras. Whether you are an avid reader or simply appreciate fine art, this enchanting illustration will surely captivate your imagination. Hang it on your wall or display it proudly in your personal collection to be reminded of Balzac's enduring legacy and his ability to bring characters like Goriot to life on paper.
