EDITORS COMMENTS
This print, titled "Design: Academic Figure," is a stunning example of 18th-century academic art as depicted in the renowned Encyclopédie, published between 1762 and 1777. The creator of this masterpiece is the skilled artist A.J. Defehrt. The figure in the print is shown in a cross-legged position, gesturing with one hand, deep in thought or contemplation. The intricate details of the body's anatomy are meticulously rendered, showcasing Defehrt's exceptional drafting abilities. The academic figure is a common motif in the art of the time, reflecting the cultural emphasis on the study of anatomy and the human form. The influence of artists such as David Michel Anguier, Antoine Claude Briasson, and Jean-Honoré Fragonard is evident in Defehrt's work. The print is an etching with engraving on cream laid paper, adding to its antique charm and historical significance. The "Design: Academic Figure" print is a valuable addition to any art collection or gallery, providing a glimpse into the rich artistic heritage of France during the Enlightenment period.
