EDITORS COMMENTS
This engraving by Louis Leopold Boilly, titled "The Prelude of Nina" transports us back to the 18th century. The scene depicts a passionate moment between two musicians, their love for music intertwining with their desire for each other. In the foreground, a violinist delicately holds his instrument while stealing a tender kiss from his pianist companion. Their bodies lean towards each other in an intimate embrace, as if they are creating their own harmonious melody through this act of affection. Boilly's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of the engraving. The intricate engravings on the musical instruments showcase his mastery and dedication to capturing not only the emotional connection between these two individuals but also their artistic prowess. The atmosphere exudes sensuality and eroticism, heightened by the soft lighting that bathes them in its warm glow. It is clear that music has brought these lovers together, serving as both a backdrop and catalyst for their romantic encounter. "The Prelude of Nina" invites us to reflect on how art can transcend time and capture timeless emotions. Through this print, Giancarlo Costa pays homage to Boilly's work while allowing us to appreciate the beauty and complexity of human connections – where passion for music intertwines with desires of the heart.
