Les fetes venitiennes, after 1759
EDITORS COMMENTS
by Gabriel de Saint-Aubin captures the vibrant and lively atmosphere of a Venetian carnival celebration in the 18th century. This exquisite print, created with watercolor and gouache over pen and brown ink, showcases the artist's exceptional talent for capturing intricate details and vivid colors. The scene depicted in this artwork transports us to Venice, Italy, where people from all walks of life gather to partake in the festivities. The streets are filled with masked revelers dressed in elaborate costumes, creating an enchanting spectacle that is both mysterious and captivating. Gabriel de Saint-Aubin's skillful use of color brings this carnival scene to life. The rich hues of reds, blues, greens, and golds create a sense of opulence and grandeur. Every brushstroke reveals his meticulous attention to detail as he portrays the ornate architecture of Venetian buildings against a backdrop of bustling crowds. This painting not only celebrates the joyous spirit of carnival but also serves as a historical record of 18th-century France's fascination with Italian culture. Gabriel de Saint-Aubin masterfully captures both the essence of Venetian traditions and his own artistic brilliance through this remarkable piece. Today, "Les fetes venitiennes" can be admired at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The Met), where it stands as a testament to Gabriel de Saint-Aubin's contribution to French art heritage.
