EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the Frontispiece for the Catalogue of the work of Thomas De Leu, created by Charles Meryon in 1866. The image takes us back to the enchanting world of 19th-century France, where art and literature flourished. In this intricate etching with engraving on laid paper, we are transported to a serene country setting adorned with fountains and mythological elements. The composition features both male and female figures, elegantly positioned around a central fountain. A ray of light gracefully illuminates the scene, casting ethereal shadows upon the characters. The delicate lettering adds an air of sophistication to this artistic masterpiece. Meryon's attention to detail is evident in every stroke; his skillful technique brings life to each figure portrayed. As we explore this sixth state out of six prints, we can appreciate how Meryon expertly captures human emotions through his engravings. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Meryon's contribution to French art history. It invites viewers into a realm where literature intertwines with visual expression—a place where imagination thrives. With its timeless beauty and exquisite craftsmanship, this Frontispiece for the Catalogue stands as a tribute not only to Thomas De Leu but also to Charles Meryon's talent as an artist who masterfully captured moments from history in black and white ink.
