EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print from the Liszt Collection, we are transported to an interior setting where a man is curled up in a chair, seemingly lost in his thoughts. As he looks on, another man approaches from the left, adding an air of intrigue and anticipation to the scene. The composition is part of a series of five illustrations by Jacques Philippe Joseph de Saint Quentin, depicting scenes from "Mad Day" also known as "Marriage of Figaro". This iconic play by Pierre Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais was first performed in 1784 and remains a timeless classic. The etching and engraving technique used for this print beautifully captures the details and emotions portrayed by Saint Quentin. The sheet measures approximately 6 5/16 x 3 9/16 inches (16.9 cm), making it a compact yet impactful piece. As we delve into this artwork, we can't help but wonder about the narrative unfolding before our eyes. What thoughts occupy the mind of the man in the chair? And what could be motivating or intriguing about the approaching figure? This print serves as a testament to both Saint Quentin's artistic prowess and Claude Nicolas Malapeau's skillful execution as an engraver. It invites us to explore deeper into their world while leaving room for our own interpretations and imagination.
