EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the "Elevation en perspective d une Colonne Funeraire destinee pour la Sepultre d une Reine" (Perspective elevation of a funerary column for the burial of a queen) created by Ennemond Alexandre Petitot in 1746-50. The photograph, taken in the 18th century, transports us back to an era where architecture was celebrated as an art form. The image depicts a grand mausoleum-like structure, elegantly designed with intricate details and towering pillars. This monument stands as a testament to the reverence and respect bestowed upon royalty during that time. Its location in France adds to its historical significance and cultural heritage. The etching captures both the concept of death and the beauty found within cemeteries. It evokes feelings of solemnity while also highlighting the artistic craftsmanship involved in creating such structures. Displayed at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, this print allows viewers to appreciate Petitot's skillful execution and attention to detail. Through his work, he immortalizes not only the memory of a queen but also pays homage to architectural excellence. As we gaze upon this remarkable piece, we are reminded of our own mortality while simultaneously marveling at humanity's ability to create lasting tributes that transcend time itself.
