EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the first view of the magnificent garden at Musee des Monuments Francais in Paris. The illustration, created by Jean Lubin Vauzelle in 1816, takes us back to a time when this iconic museum was founded during the French Revolution. The grandeur of the garden is evident as we gaze upon its picturesque landscape filled with towering trees and meticulously sculpted statues. The park exudes a romantic ambiance that transports us to another era, where beauty and art intertwine seamlessly. Intriguing details emerge from this etching; we catch a glimpse of Diane de Poitiers, an influential figure from French history, along with references to Chateau d'Anet and possibly Boileau's tomb. These elements add depth and historical significance to the scene. As our eyes wander through this visual masterpiece, we are drawn towards a central relief depicting Diana, the huntress goddess, gracefully aiming her bow at a majestic stag. This sculpture serves as a focal point within the garden's enchanting setting. Through this print, we can appreciate not only Vauzelle's artistic talent but also gain insight into how Musee des Monuments Francais came into existence. It stands as both an homage to France's rich cultural heritage and an invitation for visitors to immerse themselves in its timeless beauty.
