EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th-century print, titled "View of Porte Saint-Martin in Paris," showcases an intriguing glimpse into the bustling city life of Paris during the reign of King Louis XIV of France (1638-1715), also known as "Le Roi Soleil" or "The Sun King." Anonymous, the creator of this artwork, masterfully captured the architectural grandeur of the Porte Saint-Martin, a monumental archway located in the 10th arrondissement of Paris. The archway, adorned with bullet pierres and an impressive cardboard, served as a significant entrance to the city for those arriving from the Netherlands and the Low Countries. In the foreground, daily life unfolds as people go about their business, with men and women engaging in various activities. The image is further enhanced by the inclusion of the Deyudonne and Daumont Jean Francois signs, indicating the location of the print's origin. The meticulously prepared paper and etching technique bring the scene to life, allowing us to imagine the sights, sounds, and smells of Paris during this historic period. The archway, a testament to the architectural prowess of the time, stands proudly against the backdrop of the city, with its intricate design and grandeur on full display. This artwork, now preserved in the Rijksmuseum, offers a fascinating window into the past, inviting us to explore the rich history and culture of Paris during the 18th century.
