EDITORS COMMENTS
is a captivating print that showcases the artistic brilliance of Charles Meryon. Created in the 19th century, this black and white etching on green laid paper transports us to a world where animalistic figures intertwine with architectural features. The focal point of the image is a gothic cathedral, specifically Notre Dame de Paris, which stands as an emblem of Christianity and religious devotion. Meryon's meticulous attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. The intricate gargoyle sculptures adorning the cathedral facade seem to come alive, their menacing presence juxtaposed against the serene beauty of birds soaring above. This particular print represents the fifth state out of ten variations created by Meryon during his artistic process. Its historical significance lies not only in its portrayal of French heritage but also in its connection to one of the most iconic landmarks in Paris - Notre Dame Cathedral. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this artwork serves as a testament to Meryon's talent and his ability to capture both physical structures and intangible elements such as religion and spirituality through his art. As we gaze upon "The Vampire" we are transported back in time, immersed in an enchanting world where architecture meets mythology and symbolism reigns supreme.
