EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite etching, titled "View of the Terrace with Orange Trees of the Château de Bellevue in Meudon," is an anonymous work attributed to Jacques Rigaud from the 18th century. The Château de Bellevue, located in Meudon, Hauts-de-Seine, Ile de France, France, is depicted in all its grandeur, with its terrace adorned with lush orange trees. The Dutch or Netherlandish influence is evident in the meticulous attention to detail and the use of color and shade. The scene unfolds on a sunlit day, with figures in period attire strolling along the tree-lined terrace, taking in the breathtaking view of the chateau and its gardens. The orange trees, heavy with ripe fruit, provide a vibrant contrast against the neutral tones of the cardboard-like etching paper. The architectural details of the chateau are expertly rendered, from the intricate ornamentation of the balustrades to the precise lines of the roof tiles. The Château de Bellevue, a historic edifice of the Ancien Régime, is a testament to the rich cultural heritage of France during the eighteenth century. This etching serves as an illustration of the beauty and elegance of the French country house, with its gardens and grounds providing a serene backdrop for leisurely pursuits. The orange trees, a symbol of prosperity and abundance, add to the idyllic scene, making this a must-see for any art lover or history buff. This work, now part of the collection of the Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam, is a reminder of the enduring allure of the past and the importance of preserving our artistic and architectural heritage for future generations to appreciate and enjoy.
