EDITORS COMMENTS
This black and white etching, created by Georg Friedrich Schmidt in 1751, showcases the elegant and refined image of Samuel Liber Baro de Cocceji. The eighteenth century German subject is depicted as a distinguished gentleman, adorned in the fashionable clothing of the Rococo era. Surrounding him are playful cherubs, or putti, who represent the concepts of love and order. These amorini, as they are also known, add a whimsical and ethereal quality to the portrait. The etching, which is part of the National Gallery of Art's extensive collection in Washington D.C., is a testament to the artistic prowess of Georg Friedrich Schmidt. Schmidt, who was also known as Jean Pesne or Pene Jean, was a prolific artist of the Rococo era, known for his mastery of etching and engraving. This particular work demonstrates his ability to capture the essence of the subject, while also incorporating the popular motif of cherubs. The monochrome palette of the etching adds to its timeless appeal, making it a striking addition to any art centre or gallery. The image of Samuel Liber Baro de Cocceji, surrounded by cherubs, is a visual representation of the intersection of literature, fashion, and the arts during the Rococo era. This etching is a must-see for anyone interested in the history of art, particularly in the context of the eighteenth century and the works of Georg Friedrich Schmidt.
