"Guerard: A Multifaceted Artist and Observer of History" From capturing the taxing struggles of the Third Estate to immortalizing his own portrait, Guerard's artistic prowess knew no bounds. Blanche's coloured engraving showcases the intensity of the Taxing of the Third Estate, a powerful commentary on societal inequality. In Henri Guerard's 1889 self-portrait, we glimpse into his soul as he reveals himself through art. But Guerard's talent extended beyond portraiture. Eva Gonzales' Nanny and Child beautifully depicts tender moments between caregiver and infant, showcasing Guerard's versatility in capturing human emotions. Meanwhile, Whistler's "Portrait of Himself" demonstrates Henri-Charles Guerard's ability to capture not only others but also himself with depth and introspection. Yet it was not just people that fascinated this artist; objects too became subjects for his creative exploration. His design for a Gas Lamp with Gilt Base and Glass Globe exemplifies his attention to detail and craftsmanship. And who could resist being captivated by his Fan Design adorned with Cats and Sunflowers? It is a testament to both whimsy and skill, not limited by time or place either; he ventured into history itself. The Retreat of the Russian Army after the Battle of Alma transports us back to September 20th, 1854 - an evocative reminder of war’s aftermath. Similarly, Eugene von Guerard’s North-east View from Mount Kosciusko offers breathtaking vistas that transport viewers to uncharted territories like Australia. Intriguingly diverse themes continue in Maria Lopukhina’s portrait from 1817 – an elegant representation that transcends time while Benoist’s The Age of Reformation delves deep into historical transformations during this pivotal era. Finally, we witness Paris' grandeur in Benoist’s Exterior of Palace of Industry, Exposition Universelle.
