EDITORS COMMENTS
This exquisite print, created by the renowned French artist Jean-Honore Fragonard around 1760 and 1765, captures the breathtaking Avenue of Cypresses at Villa d'Este in Italy. The Rococo era masterpiece is rendered in pen and brown and gray ink with brown and gray wash and red chalk counterproof on laid paper. Fragonard's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the way he depicts the winding road, lined with tall, stately cypress trees, leading to the grand houses and buildings of the villa. The brown and gray ink and wash create a sense of depth and texture, bringing the scene to life with a rich, earthy color palette. The cypress trees, a symbol of mourning and eternity in Italian culture, stand tall against the grey Italian sky, their silhouettes casting long shadows on the road. This illustration offers a glimpse into the historic beauty of the Villa d'Este, a testament to the artistic and cultural heritage of the eighteenth century. The National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C. is fortunate to exhibit this remarkable work of art, allowing visitors to appreciate the intricacies of Fragonard's brush and the enduring allure of the Rococo era.
