EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a remarkable design for a float, created by the talented artist Melchior Tavernier. The image is taken from the book "Eloges et discours sur la triomphante reception du Roy en sa ville de Paris. . " written by Jean-Baptiste de Machault in 1629. The intricately etched illustration depicts a grand procession during a carnival celebration in 17th century France. A majestic horse-drawn chariot takes center stage, adorned with elaborate decorations and pulled by powerful horses. The float exudes an air of splendor and opulence, reflecting the artistic flair of its creator. In this historical scene, men dressed in traditional attire accompany the float as they proudly march along the country road. Their presence adds to the sense of festivity and joy that permeates through this artwork. With its detailed craftsmanship and evocative portrayal of French heritage, this print serves as a testament to Tavernier's skill as an artist and his contribution to literature through visual storytelling. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this piece offers viewers a glimpse into centuries past while celebrating the rich cultural traditions that continue to inspire us today.
