EDITORS COMMENTS
L'Agriculture considérée, le Comte de Veaux" (Agriculture Considered, the Count of Veaux), created by Jean Baptiste Morret in 1789, is a captivating etching and color aquatint that offers a profound commentary on the social and economic divide between the upper and peasant classes during the late 18th century in France. The image depicts a scene of a man from the gentry class, identified as the Comte de Veaux, observing a peasant woman and a man, Antoine Louis François Sergent Marceau, working in the fields. The use of vibrant, multicolored hues adds a sense of warmth and welcoming to the otherwise stark and divided landscape. The title of the artwork, "L'Agriculture considérée," suggests a deliberate consideration or contemplation of agriculture. However, Morret's depiction goes beyond the mere act of farming, as it highlights the stark contrast between the two classes. The Comte de Veaux, dressed in high-class attire, stands apart from the peasants, observing them from a distance. The woman, dressed in traditional peasant clothing, works alongside Marceau, who is plowing the field with an ox. The use of the metaphor of agriculture as a symbol for the social order of the time is evident in this scene. The artwork serves as a bridge between the past and the present, offering a glimpse into the social and economic realities of the 18th century. It invites viewers to reflect on the concept of social class and the divide that existed between the upper and peasant classes during this period. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C., is fortunate to have this significant work in its collection, preserving it for future generations to appreciate and learn from. Morret's masterful use of color and composition in "L'Agriculture considérée, le Comte de Veaux" makes it a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, the social history of France, or the human condition.
