EDITORS COMMENTS
This lithograph, titled "Greek Church, Bucharest, Wallachia, July 15, 1837," is a stunning work of art created by the French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet in 1839. The image portrays a Greek Orthodox church located in Bucharest, the capital city of Wallachia, Romania. The church, with its distinctive onion-shaped dome and intricately designed facade, stands proudly against a backdrop of rolling hills and a clear, blue sky. A group of men and horses are gathered in the foreground, adding a sense of activity and life to the scene. One man, dressed in traditional clothing, is seen leading a horse by its reins, while another man sits atop a horse, gazing off into the distance. The road leading up to the church is lined with trees, creating a picturesque setting that transports the viewer to another time and place. Raffet's masterful use of lithography, specifically lithotint, is evident in the rich, textured details of the church's exterior and the delicate shading of the trees and sky. The black and white composition adds to the timeless and otherworldly quality of the image, making it a true treasure of 19th-century art. This lithograph is now part of the permanent collection of the Art Institute of Chicago, where it continues to inspire and captivate visitors from around the world. The image is a testament to the enduring beauty of religious architecture and the power of art to transport us to new and wondrous places.
