EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century engraving, titled "View of the Chinese baths taken from the Boulevard des Capucines" offers a glimpse into the bustling streets of Paris during a time when Orientalism was in vogue. The print showcases an exquisite fusion of French and Chinese architectural elements, transporting viewers to a world where East meets West. The scene unfolds on the Boulevard des Capucines, with its grand buildings and ornate facades serving as a backdrop for this vibrant cityscape. In the foreground, we see an omnibus—a popular mode of public transport at that time—making its way through the busy street. Its presence adds a sense of movement and liveliness to the image. The focal point of this artwork is undoubtedly the magnificent Chinese baths. These opulent structures stand tall amidst their European surroundings, showcasing intricate details and traditional motifs that epitomize Eastern aesthetics. It is fascinating to witness how French artists embraced Oriental influences in their work during this period. Leonard de Selva's skillful photography captures every nuance and texture present in this historical engraving, allowing us to appreciate it in all its glory. This print serves as both a visual feast for art enthusiasts and a valuable documentation of cultural exchange between two distant worlds. Displayed proudly at Bibliotheque des Arts Decoratifs in Paris, France, this masterpiece stands as a testament to artistic exploration and cross-cultural appreciation that transcends time.
