EDITORS COMMENTS
Emmanuel Phélippes-Beaulieu's etching, "The Tourist" (1858), captures a moment of contemplative reflection in the French countryside. The image, reminiscent of monochrome photography, transports us back to the 19th century as we observe a man, dressed in the fashion of the time, standing atop a hillside. He gazes intently through a pair of binoculars or a telescope, his focus fixed on a distant geographical feature. The rolling hills and trees in the background add to the sense of tranquility and isolation, as if the tourist has escaped the hustle and bustle of city life. Phélippes-Beaulieu's use of etching and roulette techniques adds texture and depth to the print, bringing the landscape to life. The trees, with their intricate branches and leaves, stand out in stark contrast to the smooth, uninterrupted hills. The artist's masterful use of shading and tonal variations creates a sense of depth and dimension, further immersing the viewer in the scene. "The Tourist" is a poignant reminder of the allure of travel and exploration, as well as the simple pleasures of observing the natural world. This etching, a testament to the rich artistic heritage of France, is a must-see for any art lover or history buff. On display at the National Gallery of Art in Washington D.C., it invites us to take a moment to appreciate the beauty of the past and the enduring allure of the great outdoors.
