EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white lithograph captures a whimsical scene at the Paris Salon of 1880. The caricature depicts a group of visitors, seemingly levitating in mid-air, as they explore the art gallery. Created by an anonymous French artist from the 19th century, this print showcases their playful imagination and satirical wit. The flying people in the image add an element of fantasy to the otherwise formal setting of an art exhibition. Each visitor is portrayed with exaggerated features and comical expressions, emphasizing their enthusiasm for the artworks on display. It's evident that these cartoon-like characters are avid fans of the salon, eagerly engaging with every piece they encounter. The intricate details of this engraving allow us to appreciate both its artistic value and historical significance. As we observe these Parisians from over a century ago, we catch a glimpse into their vibrant cultural scene and passion for art. Preserved in the Bibliotheque Nationale in Paris, France, this lithograph offers a delightful window into past times while also reminding us that humor has always been an integral part of our appreciation for fine art.
