EDITORS COMMENTS
Hubert Francois Gravelot's Second Day, Seventh Story: The Duke of Athens Contemplating the Sleeping Princess Alatiel, created around 1757, is a captivating work of art that transports us to the heart of the eighteenth century. This masterpiece, currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., showcases the artist's exceptional skill in pen and black ink with brown wash over traces of red chalk on laid paper. The scene unfolds in the tranquil setting of a bedroom, where the Duke of Athens stands beside the canopy bed of the sleeping Princess Alatiel. The room is bathed in soft, warm lighting from a lantern, casting gentle shadows that add depth and texture to the monochrome image. The Duke, dressed in the elegant attire of the Bourguignon court, sits in a chair, deep in contemplation, his gaze fixed on the peaceful figure of the princess. The room's interior is adorned with exquisite furniture, including a large, ornate chair and a door leading to a bedroom or boudoir. The brown wash adds a sense of richness and warmth to the drawing, while the ink lines provide intricate detail and texture. The concept of the work is drawn from the play "The Two Noble Kinsmen" by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont, in which the Duke contemplates his love for the sleeping princess. This work is a testament to the artistic prowess of Hubert Francois Gravelot, a French artist who was a prominent figure in the world of eighteenth-century art. His ability to capture the essence of a moment, the play of light and shadow, and the intricacies of human emotion is truly remarkable. The National Gallery of Art is fortunate to have this beautiful work in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the artistry and heritage of the past.
