EDITORS COMMENTS
This print transports us back to pre-revolutionary France, capturing the essence of a bygone era. The image depicts a French mountebank in the bustling Place du Louvre, as envisioned by Duplessis-Bertaux and brought to life through an exquisite engraving by the French School in the 19th century. The scene is filled with intrigue and curiosity as onlookers gather around the charismatic performer. With his flamboyant attire and animated gestures, he captivates his audience with tales of wonder and spectacle. The Place du Louvre serves as a fitting backdrop for this mesmerizing display, its grandeur reflecting the opulence of ancien régime France. This print is not merely a visual delight; it also holds historical significance. It was originally created as an illustration for "The XVIIIth Century" by Paul Lacroix, published by Bickers and Son around 1880. Through this artwork, we catch a glimpse into French culture during that time period - vibrant, theatrical, and deeply rooted in tradition. As we gaze upon this evocative image from Bridgeman Images' private collection, we are transported to another time - one where street performers like this mountebank were revered entertainers who brought joy to their audiences amidst societal unrest. It reminds us of the rich cultural heritage that continues to shape our understanding of France today.
