EDITORS COMMENTS
Voilà la règle de la nature, pourquoi la contrarierez-vous?", translated to "Behold the rule of nature, why do you contradict it?", is an evocative and enigmatic title given to this beautiful 18th-century engraving by Jean Baptiste Blaise Simonet. The image captures a serene and idyllic scene of a father and mother in their bedchamber, surrounded by the comforts of home. The canopy bed, adorned with intricate floral designs, is the centerpiece of the room, with a cradle placed beside it, hinting at the presence of newborn children. A dog lies at the foot of the bed, adding to the sense of warmth and domesticity. The father, dressed in a robe, gazes at his wife with tenderness and affection, while she rests with a contented expression. The black and white monochrome palette adds to the timeless and classic feel of the artwork, transporting us back to the Rococo period in France. This engraving, a testament to the beauty of family life and the natural order of things, is a poignant reminder of the simple pleasures of home and the joys of parenthood. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to have this heritage art piece in its collection, allowing us to appreciate the skill and artistry of Jean Baptiste Blaise Simonet and the enduring appeal of this scene from the past.
