{"product_id":"les-metamorphoses-du-jour-37","title":"Fatal Attraction by J.J. Grandville","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis delightful hand-colored lithograph from J.J. Grandville's celebrated series 'Les Métamorphoses du Jour' presents one of the artist's most wickedly clever visual puns. A pompous turkey-headed gentleman dangles jewelry before a wide-eyed moth-headed lady, her enormous wings folded beneath an elegant shawl. Between them, a candle burns with quiet menace: the moth cannot resist the flame, just as she cannot resist the glittering baubles. Grandville's title, 'Système d'attraction,' operates on multiple levels, referencing both romantic pursuit and the natural world's fatal magnetisms.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished in 1854 by Gustave Havard in Paris, this plate comes from a prestigious edition that included text by leading French literary figures and a biographical notice by the renowned art critic Charles Blanc. The hand-coloring is characteristically refined, with the gentleman's vivid green coat and the lady's soft blue dress creating a perfectly balanced domestic tableau.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGrandville's anthropomorphic satires, first published in the late 1820s, established a visual vocabulary that would influence generations of artists from Tenniel to Disney. A sophisticated acquisition for collectors of French illustration and social satire.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSize:\u003c\/strong\u003e 6.5\" x 10.0\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArtist:\u003c\/strong\u003e J.J.
