EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, titled "Tourelle, Rue de L Ecole de Medecine, 22,1861" takes us back in time to the bustling streets of Paris in the mid-19th century. The artist behind this masterpiece is Charles Meryon, a French printmaker known for his intricate attention to detail. In this particular scene, we are transported to a lively street corner where various elements come together harmoniously. A horse-drawn wagon dominates the foreground as it makes its way through the cobblestone streets. Pedestrians can be seen going about their daily routines, adding an air of authenticity and liveliness to the composition. The shop fronts lining the street exude charm and character with their unique facades and signage. One cannot help but imagine what kind of goods were sold within these establishments during that era. What truly sets this artwork apart is Meryon's masterful use of light and shadow. The play between darkness and illumination creates depth and dimension within each element captured on paper. This remarkable print is currently on loan at Hamburg Kunsthalle in Germany, allowing art enthusiasts from around the world to appreciate Meryon's talent firsthand. Its timeless quality serves as a reminder of how art has the power to transport us across time and space while preserving moments from our rich history.
