Antoine des tempêtes #[nn]

From Rackham's 2005 catalog comes this striking French-language work by Luis Durán, whose cover immediately commands attention. A wide-eyed young figure in period costume cups a hand to their face in quiet wonder or unease, while beside them looms a chained skeleton draped in a weathered cloak — all set against the backdrop of a docked tall ship with lanterns and a small red boat. Durán's linework balances the delicate and the macabre with real elegance, making *Antoine des Tempêtes* feel like an adventure touched by something genuinely haunting.
