EDITORS COMMENTS
This vintage print takes us back to the romantic era of 18th-century France. A. J. De Fehrt, inspired by the renowned artist Jean Baptiste Oudry, beautifully captures a scene titled "L'Homme Qui Court Apres La Fortune et L'Homme Qui L'Attend Dans Son Lit" (The Man Who Courts Fortune and The Man Who Sleeps in Bed). Published in 1756, this hand-colored etching showcases the artistic mastery of both De Fehrt and Oudry. In this enchanting composition, we witness two contrasting figures symbolizing different aspects of life. On one side stands a man eagerly chasing after fortune, his determination evident as he races forward. On the other side lies a man peacefully sleeping in bed, seemingly content with what life has already bestowed upon him. The intricate engravement technique used adds depth and texture to every stroke, enhancing the overall nostalgic charm of this historic artwork. Its retro-styled aesthetic transports us to an era long gone but not forgotten. As we gaze at this antique masterpiece, we are reminded of the rich cultural heritage that art holds within its strokes. This engraved image serves as a testament to the timeless beauty found in traditional art forms and invites us to appreciate history through visual storytelling.
