EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "Architecture, 1690" by Benoit Audran I takes us back to the enchanting world of 17th-century France. The image showcases an exquisite allegorical architectural feature, meticulously etched by the renowned artist. In this masterpiece, Audran skillfully combines elements of architecture and artistry to create a visual feast for the eyes. A triumphal arch adorned with intricate stone carvings serves as the centerpiece, symbolizing grandeur and achievement. Surrounding it are angelic cherubs known as putti, playful child-like figures that add a touch of innocence and charm to the scene. The archway leads us into a realm where literature meets construction industry; books are scattered around, representing knowledge and intellectual pursuits intertwined with architectural planning. A female figure stands beside them, embodying wisdom and creativity in equal measure. Audran's attention to detail is evident in every line etched on this print. From the delicate features of each cherubim to the precise rendering of architectural drawings, his artistic prowess shines through. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), we are transported back in time - immersed in an era where imagination met craftsmanship. This print captures not only a moment frozen in history but also reflects our enduring fascination with both beauty and functionality within architecture.
