EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century etching and engraving by Joseph de Longueil and Charles Eisen, titled 'Country Dance,' transports us back in time to an idyllic outdoor setting. The image depicts a lively scene of country pleasures, with couples engaged in a dance around a fountain. The drummer in the foreground sets the rhythm for the dance, while the sound of water from the fountain adds to the festive atmosphere. The exterior location, perhaps in France, is adorned with trees and greenery, further emphasizing the connection to nature. The intimacy of the scene is evident in the close proximity of the dancers, both male and female, as they engage in the country dance. The artist's skillful use of line and shading creates a sense of depth and movement, drawing the viewer into the scene. The image is a beautiful depiction of the elegance and joy of the eighteenth century, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. This etching and engraving, 'Country Dance,' by Joseph de Longueil and Charles Eisen, is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery. It is a testament to the enduring appeal of the human experience, captured in a moment of simple pleasure and joy. The National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C. is fortunate to have this masterpiece in its permanent collection, allowing future generations to appreciate the artistry and heritage of the past.
