EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a pivotal moment from Alexandre Dumas' timeless masterpiece, "Le Comte de Monte-Cristo". The engraving by Riou depicts the daring escape of the protagonist, Dantes, as he evades capture by swimming to freedom. The intensity of the scene is palpable; every stroke and ripple in the water conveys a sense of urgency and determination. As we gaze at this 19th-century artwork, we are transported into the world of Dumas' imagination. Riou's skillful craftsmanship brings to life the emotions coursing through Dantes' veins - hope mingled with fear, desperation intertwined with resilience. We can almost feel his heart pounding as he fights against all odds for his liberty. In this single image, we witness not only an act of physical evasion but also a metaphorical representation of human spirit triumphing over adversity. It serves as a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there is always a glimmer of light and possibility. As admirers of French literature and artistry, we owe gratitude to Leonard de Selva for preserving this exquisite piece from history. Through his lens, he allows us to appreciate the intricate details and profound symbolism embedded within Riou's engraving. Let us celebrate this remarkable collaboration between writer and artist that continues to captivate audiences across generations.
