EDITORS COMMENTS
View of the Village and Bay of Yalta, Crimea, August 15, 1837" is a captivating lithograph in black on cream chine laid down on ivory wove paper, created by the French artist Denis Auguste Marie Raffet in 1840. This masterpiece, now held in the esteemed Art Institute of Chicago, offers a glimpse into the picturesque landscape of Yalta, Crimea, on August 15, 1837. The image showcases a serene coastal scene, with the bay of Yalta stretching out before a quaint village nestled at the foot of a headland. The crystal-clear waters lap against the shoreline, dotted with driftwood and small boats. A group of local men are seen working alongside a bullock cart, transporting goods along the mainland road. Raffet's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the depiction of the oxen pulling the cart, their muscular forms and textured coats rendered with remarkable accuracy. The men, dressed in traditional clothing, are engaged in their daily tasks, adding a sense of authenticity to the scene. The village, with its red-tiled roofs and whitewashed walls, sits nestled among the rolling hills and verdant foliage. The headland, with its rocky outcroppings, provides a dramatic backdrop to the tranquil bay. This lithograph, titled "Lithotint," is a testament to Raffet's skill as a master printmaker. The use of black and white tones creates a striking contrast between the light and dark areas, enhancing the overall impact of the image. The print, with its rich heritage and historical significance, continues to captivate viewers and offer a window into the past. This evocative work of art serves as a reminder of the beauty and simplicity of rural life in the 19th century, and the enduring allure of the natural world.
