Original Description
Lucien Victor Guirand de Scévola's A Declaration of Love (1913) epitomizes the dreamlike elegance of French Symbolist painting, where emotions transcend literal representation. This ethereal work depicts a pair of lovers enveloped in flowing drapery, their faces illuminated with tender solemnity amidst a haze of soft blues and golds. Scévola—best known as a pioneering wartime camoufleur—here channels the Pre-Raphaelite influence through elongated forms and botanical details, while the gilded background recalls Byzantine icons, elevating romance to the sacred. Historically, it bridges 19th-century Romanticism and early Art Nouveau, showcasing Symbolism’s focus on inner experience over realism. Though less renowned than contemporaries like Klimt, Scévola’s work remains a poignant example of early modernist attempts to visualize emotional transcendence.
For interiors, A Declaration of Love demands a harmonious setting: ideal above a console table in a softly lit bedroom or lounge, where its introspective mood can resonate. Opt for walls in muted sage or dove gray to complement the painting’s gilded accents without competing. Frame it in an ornate burnished gold frame (no wider than 3 inches) to enhance its antique grace, while keeping surrounding decor minimal—think curvilinear Art Nouveau vases or velvet-upholstered chairs in deep teal. At approximately 24x36 inches, it suits medium-sized spaces; in offices, pair it with brass desk accessories for cohesion. Avoid stark modernism nearby—this piece thrives among organic textures and warm, diffused lighting that echoes its luminous glow.
