Bacchanal, The Game of Leap Frog, c. 1785
Bacchanal, The Game of Leap Frog, c. 1785. Although Guyots print presents the same bacchanal as Gerards wax relief, the scene is flipped horizontally because the process of printing reverses the image. The differences between the two versions--apparent in the smoke, the foliage of the tree, and the belt of the central leaping man--suggest that both craftsmen may have worked directly from Moittes original design. Guyots use of aquatint, which produces areas of continuous tone with subtle variations in light and shade, makes the print seem more like a drawing than a sculpture. By printing on silk instead of paper, Guyot enhanced the sensuousness and luminosity of the scene in a manner different than Gerards use of coloured wax

EDITORS COMMENTS
This photo print, titled "Bacchanal, The Game of Leap Frog, c. 1785" showcases the artistic brilliance of both Jean Guillaume Moitte and Laurent Guyot. Moitte's original design served as the inspiration for this masterpiece, which was skillfully crafted by both craftsmen. The image depicts a lively bacchanal scene where revelers engage in a playful game of leapfrog. However, due to the process of printing reversing the image horizontally, Guyot's version presents subtle differences from Moitte's wax relief. These variations can be observed in details such as the smoke, tree foliage, and even the belt worn by the central leaping man. Guyot's use of aquatint adds an intriguing dimension to this print. It creates areas with continuous tones and delicate variations in light and shade that give it an almost drawing-like quality rather than resembling a sculpture. Moreover, by choosing silk as his canvas instead of traditional paper, Guyot enhances not only the sensuousness but also infuses luminosity into every corner of this enchanting scene. Preserved within The Cleveland Museum of Art collection is this remarkable piece that exemplifies French artistry during the 18th century. Antoine François Gérard is credited for etching and aquatint on silk while Heritage Art/Heritage Images ensures its preservation for generations to come.
