Augustin of Saint-Aubin, a renowned artist from the 18th century, left an indelible mark on the art world with his exquisite creations. One of his notable works is "Le Concert" (1774), a masterpiece crafted by Antoine Jean Duclos that captures the harmonious symphony of musicians in perfect unison. In another captivating piece titled "Horse Shoes, " part of "The Games of the Urchins of Paris" series (1770) by Jean Baptiste Tilliard, Saint-Aubin brings to life the excitement and thrill experienced during traditional games played by children in Parisian streets. Similarly, he beautifully portrays youthful joy and liberation in "Release from College, " also from Tilliard's collection. The artwork showcases carefree youngsters reveling in their newfound freedom after completing their studies. Saint-Aubin's talent shines through yet again as he immortalizes childhood innocence and playfulness in scenes like "Leap Frog" and "Jump Rope. " These delightful depictions capture moments filled with laughter and camaraderie among young friends engaging in popular street games. "The Top, " another gem from Tilliard's collection, reveals Saint-Aubin's ability to infuse movement into his artworks. This painting perfectly encapsulates the spinning motion and vibrant colors associated with this timeless toy loved by generations. Venturing beyond playful themes, Saint-Aubin explores daily life scenarios such as "The Dimple" or "The Game of Stones. " In this work, he depicts individuals engaged in a game involving stones thrown at specific targets—a testament to both leisurely activities enjoyed during that era and his attention to detail. Moving away from street scenes but still capturing everyday life is Pierre Francois Courtois' masterpiece called "La Promenade des Remparts de Paris" (1760). Here we see people strolling along Parisian ramparts while enjoying each other's company amidst picturesque surroundings—an idyllic representation of leisurely moments.
