Book of Fountains: No. 6, c. 1736. Creator: Gabriel Huquier (French, 1695-1772)

Book of Fountains: No. 6, c. 1736. French prints promoting l art rocaille (rock and shell art) or gout pittoresque (picturesque taste) quickly migrated throughout Europe and influenced the development of an international rococo style. The drawing on the left is one of Bouchers designs for a printed suite of ornamental fountains, two of which are on display here. Boucher melds the shapes of animals, rocks, shells, mythological beasts, and humans into fanciful cascades with a sense of unstable equilibrium

EDITORS COMMENTS
The print titled "Book of Fountains: No. 6, c. 1736" captures the essence of French rocaille art and its influence on the development of an international rococo style during the 18th century. Created by Gabriel Huquier, a renowned French artist from 1695 to 1772, this print is part of a series that showcases ornamental fountains. On display in this image are two exquisite examples of Boucher's designs for these fountains. François Boucher, another celebrated French artist, skillfully combines various elements such as animals, rocks, shells, mythological beasts, and humans to create whimsical cascades with a sense of precarious balance. French prints promoting l'art rocaille or gout pittoresque quickly spread throughout Europe and played a significant role in shaping the rococo style internationally. The intricate details and imaginative compositions seen in this print exemplify the charm and elegance associated with this artistic movement. This etching from France not only highlights Gabriel Huquier's talent but also represents the broader cultural exchange happening during that era. It serves as a testament to how art transcends borders and influences creative expressions across different countries. Displayed at The Cleveland Museum of Art today under Heritage Art/Heritage Images' collection, this print offers viewers an opportunity to appreciate both Huquier's craftsmanship and his contribution to the evolution of European art history during the Rococo period.
