EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable frontispiece with a stepped fountain, transporting us back to the 17th century. Created by Dutch artist Karel Du Jardin in 1652, this etching beautifully captures the essence of flowing water within a serene garden setting. The focal point of the image is a stone wall adorned with an intricately designed water spout that gracefully pours water into a rectilinear basin. From there, another spout continues the journey as it cascades into a smaller rectilinear basin below. The symmetrical composition is further enhanced by delicate tree branches framing either side of the fountain. Du Jardin's attention to detail allows us to witness every droplet filling and overflowing from one basin to another, creating an enchanting visual spectacle. The monochromatic palette adds depth and contrast, emphasizing both light and shadow throughout the artwork. As we gaze upon this masterpiece, we are transported to an era where fountains were not only functional but also served as symbols of beauty and tranquility. This piece exemplifies Du Jardin's mastery in capturing nature's elements through his artistry. Displayed at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City, this photograph print preserves the heritage and legacy of Karel Du Jardin's artistic brilliance for generations to come.
