BETWEEN TWO FIRES, c1892
EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases an exquisite line engraving after the painting by Francis Davis Millet. This late 19th-century artwork takes us back to a colonial American setting, specifically a charming kitchen interior. The scene depicts a moment of temptation and flirtation amidst the puritanical backdrop. In this enchanting dining room, we witness a group of men and women gathered around a table, enjoying their meal in the comfort of their home. A servant attends to their needs while they indulge in food and drink. However, what truly captures our attention is the subtle tension between two individuals caught "between two fires". The composition suggests an underlying romance or perhaps even forbidden desire as one woman coyly engages with her male companion while another man looks on intently from across the table. The hat-wearing colonist seems torn between his duty and his yearning for something more passionate. This line engraving beautifully encapsulates both the simplicity and complexity of life during this era – where strict societal norms clashed with human desires. It serves as a reminder that even within seemingly idyllic settings, there can exist hidden layers of intrigue and longing. As we delve into this mesmerizing piece by Francis Davis Millet, we are transported to an era where every interaction carried weighty consequences – where love could be found amidst temptation but always came at great risk.
