About the Item

Maison de Guttemberg a Mayence is a black and White etching realized by Pierre Tetar van Elven in the 1860s.  Titled in the lower. Image size: 32x23. Very good impression with wide margins and a very fresh inking. Realized 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of the publisher Alfred Cadart, the Société des Aquafortistes had the aim of reviving etching which had slowly been replaced by the cheaper lithography.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.

He was a French artist who worked almost entirely in etching, as he suffered from color blindness. Although now little-known in the English-speaking world, he is generally recognized as the most significant etcher of 19th century France. His most famous works by him are a series of views powerfully conveying his distinctive Gothic vision of Paris. He also suffered from mental illness, dying in an asylum.
