EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Promenade des nourrices, frise des fiacres, 1897" transports us back to the bustling streets of late 19th-century Paris. The image captures a vibrant scene filled with horse-drawn carriages known as fiacres and their elegant passengers. Painted by Pierre Bonnard in 1897, this oil on canvas masterpiece is now housed in the prestigious Musee d'Orsay in Paris. Bonnard was part of the Nabis movement, which sought to capture everyday scenes with a fresh perspective and bold use of color. In this particular artwork, Bonnard focuses on the promenade of wet nurses (nourrices) who were often seen strolling along the city's boulevards during that era. These women play an essential role in society as they cared for infants from wealthy families. The composition exudes a sense of liveliness and motion as we witness these figures walking alongside or waiting for their next ride on one of the hackney coaches. The attention to detail is remarkable – from the intricate patterns adorning each carriage to the subtle expressions on people's faces. As we gaze upon this piece, we are transported into a bygone era where horse-drawn carriages ruled the roads and Parisian life unfolded before our eyes. It serves as a testament to both Bonnard's artistic talent and his ability to capture fleeting moments that would otherwise be lost to time.
