On me raillait de ma chasteté
On me raillait de ma chasteté means in french, they moqued me for my pureness. The phrase is taken from Gustave Flauberts book Memoires d'un fou (memories of a mad man) and is part of the relating series of artworks Memoires d'un fou. Creating a calm , serene atmposhere, in a landscape inspired by papier-peints décoratifs of the 18th century , the painting is all about the tenderness and pureness Flaubert is stating in his phrase, the feeling, the state of mind and existence , so desired and tending to vanish , if ever existed really. The aetherial female creatures , like nymphs or mythological hybrids, dance , play, sing or just be, in the stillness of the moment ,in this no-time and no-place fairy tale environment.
