EDITORS COMMENTS
This print titled "View of the torrent known as La Sanguese and the ruins of the house of Abelard at the Pallet" takes us on a journey through time and nature. The aquatint, created by Claude Thienon in 1817, showcases a picturesque landscape in France's Loire Atlantique region. In this scene, we are transported to a tranquil countryside setting where an ancient church steeple emerges from behind lush trees. A meandering path leads us towards a small group of figures - some walking and others on horseback - crossing over a charming bridge that spans the torrent known as La Sanguese. It is here that we can imagine ourselves immersed in the beauty and serenity of this idyllic location. The ruins of Pierre Abelard's house add an air of mystery and history to this enchanting vista. As one explores these remnants, it is impossible not to be captivated by thoughts of Abelard himself - his love affair with Heloise, his contributions as a philosopher and theologian during medieval times. Through Thienon's skillful engraving technique, he has managed to capture both the romantic allure and natural splendor found within this scene. This print serves as a reminder that even amidst ruins, there is still beauty to be discovered; even within nature's torrents, there lies tranquility waiting to be experienced. Overall, this artwork invites viewers into an immersive journey through time while highlighting the harmonious coexistence between man-made structures and their
