EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Woman Lying on the Beach. Annabel Lee" by Edouard Manet takes us back to a serene moment in time, circa 1881. The image portrays a young Parisian woman gracefully reclining on the sandy shore, her figure beautifully captured with delicate brushstrokes and intricate details. Manet's artistic genius shines through as he skillfully combines grey and black ink over black chalk, creating a striking contrast that adds depth and texture to the composition. Framed in pen and blackish brown ink, this artwork exudes elegance and sophistication. Interestingly, Manet created this piece as illustrations for Stephane Mallarmé's French translation of Edgar Allan Poe's poems in 1889. While Poe's original poem "Annabel Lee" describes a kingdom by the sea, Manet presents us with a modern interpretation featuring a contemporary Parisian woman instead. The simplicity of this scene is both calming and alluring; it invites viewers to imagine themselves basking under the warm sun or feeling the gentle touch of ocean waves against their skin. This timeless work of art captures not only the beauty of nature but also celebrates femininity in its purest form. Displayed at Statens Museum for Kunst in Copenhagen, Denmark, this exquisite print serves as an enduring reminder of Manet's mastery and his ability to transcend time through his artistry.
