EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Midi" is an exquisite 18th century etching and engraving by Joseph de Longueil and Charles Eisen, capturing the idyllic scene of an afternoon mealtime in a French country home. The black and white image depicts a well-dressed couple, a man and a woman, seated at a table set with elegant china and silverware. The man, dressed as a chef, is in the process of preparing a dish, while his pet dog looks on with curiosity from under the table. Another man, possibly a servant or a friend, stands nearby, carrying a platter of food. The scene is filled with a sense of enjoyment and amusement, as the women in the background engage in conversation and laughter. The room, furnished with ornate furniture and adorned with decorative details, adds to the opulence of the scene. The large window opens up to a beautiful garden, allowing natural light to filter in and bathe the room in a warm glow. The black and white contrast of the image accentuates the textures and details of the scene, making it a timeless depiction of 18th century French life. This beautiful artwork, titled "Le Midi," is a masterpiece of 18th century art, created by the skilled hands of Joseph de Longueil and Charles Eisen. It is a concept that has stood the test of time, capturing the essence of a simple, yet enjoyable mealtime experience, and the companionship and camaraderie that comes with it. The image is a treasure of heritage art, and a must-see for any art lover or history enthusiast. This artwork is currently housed in the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., and is a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France in the 1700s.
