"Etching Watercolour: A Journey through Time and Portraits" Step into the world as we explore a captivating collection of artworks spanning centuries. From William Hogarth's iconic "A Rake's Progress, Plate 6: Scene In A Gaming House" in 1735 to Alix's striking portrait of Comte Adam Philippe de Custine in 1793, each piece tells a unique story. In Jacques-Bénigne Bossuet's portrait from around 1795, we witness the depth and wisdom captured on canvas. Gabriel Bonnot de Mably follows suit with his own enigmatic presence in a painting dating back to the same era. And who could forget Paul de Barras' intense gaze immortalized by Bonneville during this time? Moving away from human subjects, Redouté takes us into the realm of nature with stunning depictions of tulips like never seen before. The Parrot Tulip (Tulipa Gesneriana var. Dracontia) blooms vibrantly in his artwork from 1816 while Tropaeolum majus (Garden Nasturtium) enchants us with its delicate petals painted in 1827. The beauty continues to unfold as Redouté captures the essence of roses - Rosier de Provinsi and Rosa Damascena aurora - both featured in his renowned series "La Couronne de roses. " Primula auricula (Primroses) and Paeonia flagrans (Peony), also brought to life by Redouté, showcase nature's diversity at its finest. Lastly, we step into history itself within the walls of princess Hatice Sultan's palace during her reign alongside Sultan Selim III. This interior glimpse transports us back to an opulent time filled with grandeur and elegance.
