A book of a strange opportunity, written by André Castelot : François 1er (Ed Famot, page 72) : The 23rd of April 1519 L D V calls master Boreau or boureau, royal sollicitor of Ambroise; the whole he owns in Cloux becomes his loyal Mezi's property, but his 'tourangelle' maid servant Mathurine gets clothes made of good black woollen cloth fit with skin, a woollen cloth and 10 'ducats'. A store, meeting a drawing, a magnetic, questioning, almost mystical look. Man or woman or androgyne? Maid servant? The mystery penetrates the picture. The picture is full of meaning. The questioning imposes a long and patient search, a more than ten years'enquiry between the person's shadow and light. A maid servant, a fit name. A strange whole which will take unexpected proportions. |
