EDITORS COMMENTS
The captivating print titled "More than once, while leaving the masked ball Mr. de *** was arrested by the patrol officers from Scenes from the Private and Public Life of Animals" takes us back to 19th century France, where animals are depicted in a fascinating anthropomorphic manner. Created by Louis-Henri Breviere, this black and white wood engraving showcases his artistic brilliance. In this intriguing scene, we witness Mr. de *** making his way out of a vibrant masked ball only to be intercepted multiple times by vigilant patrol officers. The artist's attention to detail is evident as he skillfully captures the essence of each character - both human and animal - with precision and humor. This artwork belongs to a series that explores the private and public lives of animals during that era. Breviere's collaboration with renowned illustrator Jean Ignace Isidore Gerard (also known as J. J Grandville) resulted in these remarkable engravings which have become an integral part of art history. Now housed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print serves as a testament to Breviere's talent for blending satire with imagination. It offers viewers an opportunity to delve into a world where animals take on human qualities, shedding light on societal norms and behaviors through their own unique lens. Louis-Henri Breviere's work continues to captivate audiences even today, reminding us that art has no boundaries when it comes to exploring our complex relationship with nature and society alike.
