EDITORS COMMENTS
The print captures the solemn beauty of the "Monument to Mignard" painted by Francois Boucher in 1735. This oil on canvas artwork, measuring 72.4x57.5 cm, is housed at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art in California, USA. Commissioned by Countess Feuquiere, daughter of Pierre Mignard, a renowned French artist from the 17th century, this funerary monument was created by Jean Baptiste Lemoyne for the Church of Jacobins in Paris. The painting depicts Countess Feuquiere weeping beside her father's tomb as a symbol of her deep grief and love for him. Sadly, during the Revolution, this magnificent sculpture suffered heavy vandalism. However, even through its damaged state, one can still appreciate its artistic brilliance and historical significance. A striking element within this composition is the figure of Time rising in the air with a scythe in hand. This representation serves as a reminder that time passes inexorably and life eventually comes to an end. This image transports us back to 18th-century Paris and invites contemplation on themes such as mourning, remembrance, and legacy. It stands as both a testament to Mignard's artistic prowess and his enduring impact on those who loved him dearly.
