EDITORS COMMENTS
This print from the Liszt Collection transports us back to the enchanting world of cormorant fishing in 1742. The etching engraving sheet, meticulously trimmed to a size of 11 7/8 by 9 5/16 inches (301 by 237 cm), showcases the incredible artistry and attention to detail that Gabriel Huquier, a renowned French artist from Orleans (1695-1772) brought to life. This particular piece is an exquisite reproduction after François Boucher (1703-1770), one of Paris' most celebrated artists. The scene depicted in this print takes us on a journey along serene waters where fishermen skillfully employ trained cormorants for their unique fishing technique. With their slender bodies and outstretched wings, these majestic birds dive gracefully into the water, capturing fish with remarkable precision. The composition exudes tranquility as we witness nature's harmony unfold before our eyes. Huquier's masterful use of etching and engraving techniques adds depth and texture to every stroke, bringing each element within the artwork alive. From the delicate ripples on the water's surface to the intricate detailing on each bird's feathers, every aspect has been thoughtfully crafted. As we gaze upon this stunning print, we are reminded of both the artistic prowess behind its creation and humanity's timeless connection with nature. It serves as a testament to our ability to coexist harmoniously with creatures great and small while celebrating their innate beauty through art
