EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print captures the esteemed David Roentgen and his company in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Created by the talented Johann Friedrich Anthing, this artwork showcases a group of distinguished men engaged in negotiation and conversation. The vibrant colors and intricate details bring to life the bustling atmosphere of this historical moment. David Roentgen, a renowned German cabinetmaker, stands at the center of attention. His expertise in furniture craftsmanship has earned him great respect among his peers. Surrounding him are fellow professionals, all deep in discussion around a table adorned with various tools and materials. The scene exudes an air of sophistication as these gentlemen engage in important business dealings. One man is seen smoking a tobacco pipe while another gestures animatedly during their conversation. Their silhouettes against the backdrop of Saint Petersburg's architectural beauty add depth to this remarkable composition. Johann Friedrich Anthing's skillful use of cut paper with ink wash and watercolor brings out every nuance and expression on each individual's face. This print serves as both a testament to Roentgen's legacy as well as an homage to the artistry that thrived during this era. Displayed proudly within The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece allows us to glimpse into history through Anthing's masterful brushstrokes. It reminds us not only of Roentgen's contributions but also highlights the significance of collaboration and negotiation within any profession or industry throughout time.
