EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Church and Tower of Three Saints, Yassy, Modavia, July 19, 1837," is a stunning work of art created by the renowned French artist, Denis Auguste Marie Raffet. The image, produced in 1840, transports us back in time to the picturesque town of Yassy, located in the historical region of Moldavia, Romania. The composition of the print masterfully captures the essence of the rural landscape, with the imposing Church of Three Saints standing proudly at the center. The Gothic Revival architecture of the church is beautifully contrasted by the simple, yet elegant, design of the adjacent tower. The intricate details of the church's facade, including its pointed arches, flying buttresses, and ornate decorations, are expertly rendered in the lithograph's black and white tones. The print also showcases a group of people, both men and women, gathered at the roadside, taking in the scene. Their presence adds a sense of life and activity to the otherwise tranquil setting. The road leading away from the church and tower invites us to imagine the many stories and journeys that have unfolded in this place over the centuries. Raffet's mastery of the lithography technique is evident in the rich textures and tonal variations present in the print. The use of lithotint, a method of creating shading and gradation effects, adds depth and dimension to the image. The print is a testament to Raffet's artistic vision and his ability to capture the beauty and complexity of the world around him. Today, this rare and beautiful work of art is housed in the Prints and Drawings department of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world.
