EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases "The Architect in a Greek Style, 1771" an engraving by Ennemond Alexandre Petitot. Measuring 39.1x27.6 cm, this artwork is part of a private collection and depicts the prevailing fashion for the Greek revival during the late eighteenth century. In this satirical piece from the Mascarade a la Grecque series, Benigno Bossi after Ennemond Alexander Petitot playfully mocks the architectural trends of their time. The artist portrays a single man dressed in an elaborate Greek-inspired outfit, standing confidently with one hand gesturing towards his creation. The image captures not only the fashionable attire of the period but also highlights the intricate details of French artistry prevalent during that era. The architect's pose exudes maturity and professionalism as he proudly presents his work to viewers. With its black and white composition, this engraved masterpiece beautifully contrasts light and shadow while emphasizing every line and curve meticulously etched into paper. The scroll held by our protagonist adds depth to his character, suggesting knowledge and expertise within his craft. "The Architect in a Greek Style" transports us back to the late 18th century when European artists were inspired by classical architecture. This print serves as both a historical record of artistic trends at that time and an amusing satire on society's fascination with ancient Greece.
