EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "L'Escalier (The Curving Stair), 1778-79" we are transported back to the elegant architecture of 18th-century France. Created by the talented Gabriel de Saint-Aubin, this artwork showcases his mastery in capturing the beauty and grandeur of architectural features. The focal point of the image is a magnificent stone staircase that gracefully curves upwards, inviting us to explore what lies beyond. Each step seems to whisper stories from centuries past, as if echoing the footsteps of those who once ascended its regal path. The play of light and shadow adds depth and dimension to this stunning composition, enhancing our appreciation for both the craftsmanship and artistic vision behind it. As we gaze upon this piece, we can almost imagine ourselves standing at the foot of these stairs, marveling at their intricate design. The watercolor technique employed by Saint-Aubin brings a softness and tranquility to the scene, evoking a sense of nostalgia for an era long gone. This print serves as a testament to Gabriel de Saint-Aubin's ability to capture not only physical structures but also emotions and memories within his art. It reminds us that architecture is not merely about functionality; it is an expression of culture, history, and human creativity. Displayed proudly in The Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection, "L'Escalier" stands as a testament to our shared heritage—a reminder that even in today's fast-paced world, there is still value
