Esquisses Parisiennes,
EDITORS COMMENTS
or "Parisian Sketches," is a captivating watercolor series created by the Belgian artist Francis Conscience between 1827 and 1828. This particular image, numbered as No. 17, showcases an animated scene of two men greeting each other in a lively Parisian setting. The reserved man, dressed in a top hat and a dark coat, is met with an exuberant welcome from a joker, who wears a bright hat and a striped shirt, exclaiming, "He arrive donc farceur, nous sommes deja au champagne! / Tiens ne m'en parle pas, c'est le diable pour se dépêtrer des femmes" (Hey, come on, joker, we're already on the champagne! / Well, don't talk to me about it, it's the devil's own job to get disentangled from women). The rich colors and intricate details of this watercolor painting transport us back to the 19th century, where the fashionable gentlemen of Paris donned elegant hats, coats, and cravats. The influence of Dutch and French art is evident in the composition, with the use of satire and humor reminiscent of the works of Pierre-Francois Ducarme and Hermenegilde Honorat Hautecoeur. This full-length depiction captures the essence of the lively social scene in Paris during the early 1800s. The men's animated expressions and body language convey the excitement and camaraderie that comes with the joyous occasion of sharing a glass of champagne. The watercolor technique adds a sense of fluidity and movement to the image, making it a delightful addition to any art collection or historical archive. Francis Conscience's Esquisses Parisiennes series offers a unique glimpse into the fashion, culture, and social life of Paris during the 19th century. This particular image, with its lively interaction between two men, serves as a testament to the humor and joie de vivre that characterized the Parisian scene during this time.
