EDITORS COMMENTS
Plate VI-1 from the set 'Cartouches Modernes orné avec des [differentes Figures]' by Johann Esaias Nilson (1703-1773) is a stunning example of Rococo art from the 18th century. This etching, titled 'Cartouches Modernes orné avec des [differentes Figures]' or 'Modern Cartouches Decorated with Various Figures,' showcases a vibrant and whimsical scene filled with amorini, cherubs, and putti. The black and white etching, which is an etching counterproof with drawing in pen and black ink and gray wash on laid paper incised with grounding in red chalk for transfer on the verso, is a testament to Nilson's masterful technique. The etching is rich in detail, with each figure expertly rendered, from the flowing robes of the women to the intricate patterns on the jug and pitcher. The scene is set against a backdrop of ornate cartouches, adding an elegant and sophisticated touch to the composition. The figures, dressed in clothing reminiscent of the Rococo era, are depicted in various poses, some playful and others more serious. The contrast between the black and white tones creates a striking visual effect, adding depth and dimension to the image. The etching is a beautiful example of the art of the 18th century, showcasing the intricate designs and conceptual themes that were popular during the Rococo era. It is a must-see for anyone interested in art history, fashion, or the heritage of European art. This print can be found in many prestigious art galleries and museums, including the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
