EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the enchanting artwork titled "Le Calandrier des Vieillards" by Nicolas de Larmessin. Created in the 18th century, this piece is part of a series called "Suite d'Estampes Nouvelles pour les Contes de la Fontaine" which translates to "Series of New Prints for the Tales of La Fontaine". The image showcases a scene from Jean de La Fontaine's tales, depicting old men dressed in traditional costumes against a country backdrop. The intricate etching and engraving techniques used by Larmessin bring out every fine detail, highlighting the elegance and charm of this Rococo masterpiece. Amongst these elderly figures is a monkey, adding an element of whimsy to the composition. This fusion of human and animal characters reflects both the literary context and artistic style prevalent during that era. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to French heritage art. It transports viewers back to the 18th century with its depiction of fashion, culture, and literature from that time period. Through his skilled craftsmanship, François Boucher brings life to these characters on paper. As we gaze upon this image, we are reminded not only of our rich artistic history but also how art has always been intertwined with storytelling throughout centuries.
