EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a significant moment in the life of the renowned French sculptor, Pierre Puget. In this image, taken from an engraving by Valerio in 1843, we witness Puget's apprehension as he prepares to break his Venus sculpture. The reason behind this drastic action is none other than the mediocre proposal put forth by his sponsor. Puget's frustration and anger are palpable as he stands before his creation, ready to shatter it into pieces. This scene is part of "Scenes de la vie d'hommes famous" a collection that explores various aspects of human existence. It serves as a powerful representation of artistic integrity and the lengths one may go to preserve their vision. The artist's decision to destroy his work showcases his refusal to compromise on quality or succumb to external pressures. It speaks volumes about Puget's dedication and passion for his craft, elevating him beyond mere talent into the realm of true artistry. Valerio masterfully captures this intense moment with an engraving executed in two colors, adding depth and emotion to the composition. Through Stefano Bianchetti's print reproduction, we can now appreciate this historical event and delve into its significance within art history. This thought-provoking image invites us to reflect on themes such as artistic expression, patronage dynamics, and even the seven deadly sins - particularly anger and pride - which seem intertwined with Puget's emotional state at that very moment.
