About the Item
Etching, c. 19th century
This finely executed etching by Léon Desbuissons presents the cloister of St. Papoul Abbey, a Benedictine site in southern France renowned for its Romanesque architecture. The composition emphasizes the rhythm of the arcades and columns, their shadows falling in deep contrast, while a solitary figure tends the garden, adding a human presence to the contemplative stillness of the monastic setting. Desbuissons’ attention to architectural detail and atmospheric rendering places this work in the tradition of 19th-century French etchers who sought to preserve the beauty of medieval and Romanesque heritage.

John Taylor Arms was born in Washington, DC in 1887. He studied law at Princeton University, transferring to the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, Boston, to study architecture, graduating in 1912. After serving as an officer in the United States Navy during World War I, he devoted himself full-time to etching. He published his first original etchings in 1919.
His initial subject was the Brooklyn Bridge in New York City near which he worked. Arms developed a successful career as a graphic artist in the 1920s and 1930s, specializing in series of etchings of Gothic churches and cathedrals in France and Italy. In addition to medieval subjects, Arms made a series of prints of American cities.
He used sewing needles and magnifying glasses to get a fine level of detail. A member of many printmaking societies, Arms served as president of the Society of American Graphic Artists. An educator, Arms wrote the Handbook of Print Making and Print Makers (1934) and did numerous demonstrations and lectures. Arms was elected into the National Academy of Design as an Associate member in 1930, and became a full member in 1933. His work was also part of the painting event in the art competition at the 1932 Summer Olympics...
