EDITORS COMMENTS
This watercolor print, titled "An Allegory" transports us to the enchanting world of French artist Jules Lessore. Created between 1869 and 1892, this masterpiece showcases Lessore's exceptional talent for capturing ethereal beauty and evoking emotion through his brushstrokes. In this allegorical scene, we find ourselves in a lush forest setting where a group of angelic cherubs known as amorini gather. Dressed in flowing blue garments that beautifully contrast with their brown hair, these celestial beings exude an otherworldly charm. One cherub delicately holds a wreath while another gazes down thoughtfully, adding depth to the narrative. Lessore's attention to detail is evident in every aspect of this painting. The intricate folds of the women's off-the-shoulder dresses and the vibrant colors he uses bring life to the canvas. The serene expressions on their faces suggest a moment frozen in time—a glimpse into an idyllic realm where nature intertwines with spirituality. Published in 1906 by Charles Holme as part of "The Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours" collection, this print allows us to appreciate Lessore's artistic brilliance even today. As we admire his skillful portrayal of light filtering through the undergrowth and casting gentle shadows on each figure, we are reminded why Lessore remains one of France's most celebrated artists from the late 19th century.
