EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant color woodcut print, titled "La Famille du graveur" (The Engraver's Family), was created in 1898 by Maurice Delcourt. The artwork showcases a snapshot of a French family from the 19th century, capturing their occupation and daily life. In this charming portrait, we see a male engraver at work, surrounded by his loved ones. The artist skillfully depicts the intricate tools of his trade on the table before him, highlighting the importance of craftsmanship and tradition within this profession. His wife stands beside him, offering support and perhaps even assisting with certain aspects of the engraving process. Their children are also present in the scene; two young girls curiously observe their father's work while an older boy looks on with admiration and curiosity about following in his footsteps someday. This image beautifully captures not only familial bonds but also hints at passing down skills through generations. Delcourt's use of vivid colors adds depth and warmth to this intimate family moment, bringing each character to life within their domestic setting. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into both personal relationships and professional aspirations that were prevalent during France's rich artistic history. Now housed in The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), this piece serves as a testament to Delcourt's talent as well as an important representation of 19th-century French artistry for all visitors to appreciate and enjoy today.
