Un père vertueux #[nn]

From Ludovic Debeurme and published by Cornélius in 2015, Un père vertueux announces itself with a quietly arresting cover: a bearded, dark-coated patriarch ushers two young boys through a doorway, while a lone red-shirted figure walks away across a green hillside in the distance. The soft, muted palette and gently stylized figures give the scene a contemplative, almost fable-like warmth that draws you in immediately. A thoughtful addition to Cornélius's catalog of distinctive Franco-Belgian work.
