"Saint Aubin Augustin de: A Glimpse into 18th Century Parisian Life" Step back in time and immerse yourself in the vibrant world of Saint Aubin Augustin de, a renowned artist whose works captured the essence of 18th century Paris. From his iconic painting "Le Concert" in 1774, created by Antoine Jean Duclos, to the charming depictions of everyday life found in "Horse Shoes, " "Release from College, " and "La Promenade des Remparts de Paris, " it is evident that Saint Aubin had an unparalleled talent for bringing scenes to life. In collaboration with other talented artists like Jean Baptiste Tilliard, he portrayed the joyous games played by children on the streets of Paris. The lively images of "Leap Frog, " "Jump Rope, " and even "The Top" transport us to a time when innocence and playfulness were cherished. But Saint Aubin's art was not limited to capturing moments of leisure; he also delved into social commentary. In his work titled "Decrotteur (Shoe Shiner), " part of Mes gens series, he shed light on the lives of commissionnaires ultramontains who worked tirelessly shining shoes for their clients. Additionally, his piece entitled "La Marchande de Chataignes (The Chestnut Seller)" showcases a common street vendor during that era, reminding us that daily interactions with these merchants were an integral part of city life. One cannot overlook his contribution to fashion as well. Through his work on Tableau des portraits à la Mode (Plate of Fashion Portraits), we catch a glimpse into the trends and styles prevalent during this period - a true testament to Saint Aubin's versatility as an artist. Lastly, let us not forget one particularly intriguing creation: “Comptez sur Mes Serments (Count On My Oaths)” painted by Augustin de Saint-Aubin himself in 1789.
