EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print titled "Retif de la Bretonne Little Godparents 1777" we are transported back in time to witness a moment of innocence and charm. Created by the talented French artist Jean-Michel the Younger Moreau, this etching and engraving beautifully captures a scene from Rêtif de la Bretonne's novel. The image depicts two young children who have been chosen as godparents for an important occasion. Dressed in elegant attire, they exude an air of maturity beyond their years. The boy stands tall with his hand placed gently on the girl's shoulder, while she holds a delicate bouquet of flowers. Moreau's attention to detail is evident in every stroke of his etching technique. From the intricate folds of their clothing to the expressions on their faces, he brings these little godparents to life before our eyes. The soft lighting adds a touch of warmth and intimacy to the scene, enhancing its overall appeal. As we admire this exquisite piece from Liszt Collection, we can't help but feel a sense of nostalgia for simpler times when childhood was celebrated with such reverence. It serves as a reminder that even in centuries past, children held significant roles within society and were entrusted with responsibilities beyond their tender age. This print is not just an artwork; it is a glimpse into history and culture through the lens of artistry. It invites us to appreciate both Rêtif de la Bretonne's storytelling prowess and Moreau's artistic talent
