What is an Illusion? Voltaire knows.
Voltaire once said:
“Illusion is the first of all Pleasures.”
What is she thinking about, it makes you wonder if her disillusion – as depicted in this painting – could actually be an illusion in itself. A trick of the mind that causes this emotion inside, a feeling of sadness and disappointment. I so wish it could be true…
The large painting above dates back to around 1640 and is titled “The Disillusioned Medea” (also known as The Enchantress)
