Travelling in France, c. 1790 - A Glimpse into the Grand Tour
EDITORS COMMENTS
. This print by Thomas Rowlandson takes us back to 18th-century France, offering a delightful snapshot of travel during the era of the Grand Tour. The scene depicts a picturesque French town or village bustling with activity as a horse-drawn carriage makes its way through narrow streets. The artist's intricate pen and ink technique, enhanced with watercolor, brings life to every detail - from the charming architecture of buildings lining the road to the animated figures that populate this vibrant setting. One can almost hear the clip-clop of horses' hooves and feel the excitement in the air as travelers embark on their journey. Notably, we catch sight of an inviting hotel or inn adorned with signs for "Lion d'Argent" and "Traiteur" promising good food served by J. Maigre. These establishments would have been essential rest stops for weary explorers seeking comfort and sustenance along their travels. Rowlandson's work captures not only physical landscapes but also glimpses into social customs and traditions of his time. This evocative image invites viewers to imagine themselves partaking in this grand adventure – experiencing new cultures, encountering diverse people, and immersing themselves in foreign lands. Thanks to Yale Center for British Art's Paul Mellon Collection for preserving this remarkable piece that continues to transport us back centuries ago when travel was an art form itself - an exploration filled with curiosity
