Edouard Moyse
Un Philosophe - Etching by Edouard Moyse - 1870s

1870s

About the Item

Un Philosophe is a black and white etching realized by Edouard Moyse (1827-1908) in 1870s. Titled in the lower. Image size: 22.5cmx28.5cm. Good condition. Not signed. Realized by Cadart for the "Société des Aquafortistes. Born on the initiative of the publisher Alfred Cadart, the Société des Aquafortistes had the aim of reviving etching which had slowly been replaced by the cheaper lithography. Among the first participants in the association were the Barbizon painters who helped raise the medium to new heights, but over 100 leading French artists contributed to the creation of the 300 engravings. With the publication of the last volume in 1867 the society, given the high costs and modest commercial success, was dissolved but new experiments were soon born: Félicien Rops, former member, founded the Société Internationale des Aquafortistes in Brussels in December 1869 , while in London The Portfolio and the Society of Painter-Etchers were born respectively in 1870 and 1880. In Paris, in 1873, the magazine Paris à l'eau-forte was founded.
