EDITORS COMMENTS
This print takes us back to the 16th century, capturing the essence of a picturesque village in Lorraine, France. The focal point is the house of Kointz, the controller of the mines in La Croix-aux-Mines. Standing proudly amidst a stunning landscape, this charming rural dwelling showcases traditional architecture with its distinct rooflines. The artist's signature on folio 25v adds an intriguing touch to this historical piece. Created using pen and ink as well as watercolor on paper, it is evident that great care was taken to capture every intricate detail. This drawing serves as a study or sketch for a larger book or collection of drawings. La Croix-aux-Mines was once renowned for its silver mines, which played a vital role in shaping the region's history. This image offers us a glimpse into that era when mining activities thrived here. Preserved by Bibliotheque de l'Ecole des Beaux-Arts in Paris, France, this photograph from Gross or Groff (a German artist) transports us back in time. It allows us to appreciate not only the beauty of this particular house but also provides insight into life during the Renaissance period. Thanks to Fine Art Finder and their extensive collection curated by Jean Masson, we are able to admire and learn from these remarkable pieces of artistry and history today.
