The Sun
 
Like a benevolent star emerging from the heavens, this sun with its enigmatic face seems to have stepped straight out of a 19th-century engraving, a time when the imagination oscillated between romanticism and technological progress. While Pre-Raphaelite painters drew inspiration from great mythologies to glorify nature, industrialization transformed humankind's relationship to time and light.
A symbol of vitality and illumination, the sun has always been a central figure in art and literature. In the second half of the 19th century, it lit up Turner's paintings and illuminated Baudelaire's verses, offering a fascinating duality between clarity and melancholy. This visual evokes celestial maps and allegories of yesteryear, where the personified star reigned supreme. The delicate ornamentation and gentle gaze recall the ancient engravings that adorned almanacs and cabinets of curiosities.
Today, this solar imagery continues to shine in interior design, bringing a touch that is both poetic and timeless.
