EDITORS COMMENTS
Promenades Aériennes, Jardin Baujon, honore de la présence de Sa Majesté le 3 août 1817" is a stunning and historic artwork created by the renowned French artist, Henri Courvoisier-Voisin, in 1817-1818. This beautiful copper engraving and watercolor depicts a scenic view of the Jardin Baujon in Paris during the Bourbon Restoration, specifically on August 3, 1817. The scene is filled with excitement as King Louis XVIII of France (1814-1824) is present, honoring the occasion with his regal presence. The artwork captures the essence of neoclassical landscaping, with its meticulously designed gardens, winding paths, and picturesque architecture. At the heart of the scene, a large ice mountain, or "montagne russe," dominates the landscape. This giant slide, a popular amusement attraction during the time, is a testament to the playful and joyful spirit of the era. The king and his entourage can be seen enjoying the festivities, some even bravely descending the icy slope on toboggans. This artwork, titled "Promenades Aériennes," is a remarkable snapshot of history, capturing the essence of the Bourbon Restoration and the joyful spirit of Parisian society during the early 19th century. The intricate details of the artwork, from the textures of the ice to the folds of the royal robes, showcase Courvoisier-Voisin's exceptional skill as an artist. This private collection piece is a must-see for anyone interested in French history, neoclassical art, or the evolution of amusement parks and roller coasters. The artwork's title translates to "Aerial Promenades, Jardin Baujon, honored by the presence of His Majesty on August 3, 1817," and is a testament to the grandeur and elegance of the time. This masterpiece by Henri Courvoisier-Voisin is a true treasure of French art and history.
