EDITORS COMMENTS
This etching, titled 'Vue d'Optique Nouvelle, representant la Grande Ecluse et le Pavillon de Manse, dans le Comte du meme non' (New optical view, representing the Grande Ecluse and the Pavillon de Manse, in the County of the same name), showcases an exquisite view of the Grand Lock and the Pavillon de Manse in Chantilly, France, during the 18th century. The Pavillon de Manse, built in 1678, was a remarkable architectural and engineering feat, commissioned by the Duke of Aumale to house the Great Waters Machine and other hydraulic machines. Named after the hydraulic engineer Jacques de Manse, this pavilion was instrumental in raising spring water from a well to a reservoir, which was then distributed to the princely garden's fountains, waterfalls, and water jets. The etching beautifully captures the Pavillon de Manse's grandeur, with its intricate design and the adjacent bridge, as well as the tranquil waterway leading to the lock. The scene is further enhanced by the presence of swans gliding gracefully on the water, adding to the idyllic and picturesque setting. The etching is hand-colored, adding depth and vibrancy to the image, making it a true masterpiece of the 18th-century art and engineering world. The Pavillon de Manse, also known as the Moulin des Princes (Mills of the Princes) or the Chapoulaud Weduve (Widow Chapoulaud), is a significant tourist attraction, drawing visitors from around the world to witness the engineering marvel and the stunning gardens of Chantilly. This etching is a testament to the rich heritage of French art and civil engineering, providing a glimpse into the past and the beauty of the Chantilly estate.
