La septième femme de Barbe-bleue ouvre quand même la porte impossible, elle sait déjà ce qui suivra. L’excitation vient de l’interdit et de ce qu’elle n’ose imaginer.
Elles sont toutes en équilibre entre la grande et la petite mort, la dernière plus encore que les autres.
Cette série de sept peintures se rapproche donc de la sculpture “Les Deux Aimables Filles.”

Bluebeard’s seventh wife nevertheless opens the door which has been barred to her, suspecting what will happen. The thrill springs from what is forbidden and what she dares not imagine.
All seven wives are in a delicate balance between ”la grande mort” and “la petite mort”, the seventh more than the others.
This series of seven paintings is closely related in subject matter to the”Two Lovable Maidens”.
