EDITORS COMMENTS
Montages de Belleville, Barrière des 3 Couronnes, 1817-1824" is an exquisite work of art by the renowned French artist, Henri Courvoisier-Voisin. This masterpiece, created between 1817 and 1824, is a stunning example of Neoclassical landscape art and a captivating glimpse into the past. The print depicts the Belleville district of Paris, specifically the Barrière des 3 Couronnes, which was a popular entertainment area during the early 19th century. The central focus of the image is the Montages de Belleville, a series of ice mountains that were a major attraction for Parisians during the winter months. The icy slopes were used for various winter sports, including tobogganing and ice sliding, as evidenced by the figures at the bottom of the image. The Montages de Belleville were also home to the famous "Russian Mountains," which were roller coasters made of wooden structures with steep drops and sharp turns. These early roller coasters were a thrilling innovation and a precursor to the modern amusement park rides we know today. The print is a beautiful fusion of copper engraving and watercolour, with intricate details that bring the scene to life. The use of Neoclassical elements, such as the grand architecture and the elegant figures, add a sense of sophistication and elegance to the image. This work of art is a precious reminder of Parisian life during the early 19th century and the joy and excitement that winter entertainment brought to the people. The Montages de Belleville, Barrière des 3 Couronnes, 1817-1824, by Henri Courvoisier-Voisin, is a true masterpiece of fine art that continues to captivate and inspire viewers to this day.
